The poison was rubbed into gloves, saddles and icons, applied to cutlery and toothpicks, watered books, scarves and fruits right on the trees, mixed with candle wax, etc. Not to mention such banalities as poisoned wine or poisoned melon . And all this for the sake of power. The book of Igor Simbirtsev is equally inspired and entertaining - primarily about how weak a person is in confront his vices, how he goes to glory and wealth, sometimes losing everything human in himself. Before us are dozens of stories of the rulers of antiquity and the Middle Ages, who killed and themselves became victims. Duddened by the smell of power, they strove for a throne, and having reached the coveted goal, often rushed into all the heavy and slowly (but sometimes quickly!) Silmed themselves with alcohol and drugs. The affairs of some of them are still of interest to forensic examination, and this can also be read in this book.
