The novel "By the Power" is dedicated to the fates of two women at the beginning of the 16th century: the first wife of Grand Prince Vasily III, Solomonia Saburova, whom he ordered to forcibly become a nun, and his second wife - the young beauty Elena Glinskaya. Did Solomonia really give birth to a son in the monastery, whom many years later the son of Elena, Ivan the Terrible, feared? What role did the boyar Ivan Ovchina play in Elena's fate and in history? Why did Elena die so young, leaving her sons as orphans? Were all those executed by her truly guilty of conspiracies?
The author-historian provides a unique version of answers to these and many other mysteries of that fateful time, which determined Russia's paths for many years to come.
