Moscow does not believe in tears

The old Russia of the XV-XVIII centuries in the image of the writer-historian Daniil Mordovtsev is colorful and original, and the passions that boil in her open spaces are worthy of singing them in the new "Iliad". No wonder the author, telling about the Vyatka veche of the Republic, compares it with the ancient Troy, and the Moscow Principality, striving to subjugate the rebellious city, was likened to the Achaeans. But if you fight against Moscow, you have to go to the end, because you will not come with a guilty. “Moscow does not believe in tears,” the heroes of Mordovtsev repeat, and not only Vyatka had to learn this lesson.
The collection includes three works of the author, telling about different periods of Russian history. "Moscow does not believe in tears" shows us the 15th century, "sitting of schismatics in Solovki" illuminates the years of the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich, and the “nanosic trouble” talks about the plague of the 1770 plague in Moscow after the next Russian-Turkish war
