Foreigners who visited Muscovy during the reign of Ivan the Terrible by their opus actively contributed to the creation of a negative image of our country. So, the monk-Jesuit Antonio Possevino came up with the myth that the monarch personally killed his son. Henry Henry Staden, who painted the fables about the "terrible executions" of the guardsmen, and also about monstrous corruption in the highest echelons of power, did not lag behind him. The diplomat from Venice Marco Foscarino claimed that the situation of “women and wives” was almost the same as the slaves. He also pointed out that these disenfranchised creatures were ready for a modest reward to surrender to foreigners.
