Ivan IV the Terrible, the first Russian tsar, is known not only as a harsh ruler and conqueror, but also as an outstanding writer who laid the foundation for the genre of publicistic writing in Russian literature. He wrote about many events in his life - about his childhood and youth, his rule over Russia, and his struggles against enemies. "I have experienced many sorrows and hardships," says the Terrible, "but what is even worse is that the Russian state has often been on the brink of destruction." He also talks about this, constantly addressing the theme of "is it easy to be a tsar in Russia."
"A bold innovator, an amazing master of language, sometimes angry, sometimes lyrically elevated... a master of the 'biting' style, always principled, always 'the autocrat of all Russia', disregarding all literary conventions for the sake of a single goal - to convince and influence his reader - that is how the Terrible is in his works." - D. S. Likhachev
