Tsar Ivan the Terrible - "Bloody". What foreigners saw in Muscovy
14.99 €
Foreigners who visited Muscovy during the reign of Ivan the Terrible actively contributed to the creation of a negative image of our country with their opuses. Thus, the Jesuit monk Antonio Possevino invented the myth that the monarch killed his son by his own hand. Austrian spy Heinrich Staden was not far behind him, who wrote tall tales about "terrible executions" of oprichniki, as well as about monstrous corruption in the highest echelons of power. Marco Foscarino, a diplomat from Venice, claimed that the situation of "women and wives" was almost the same as that of slaves. And he also pointed out that these powerless creatures were willing to give themselves to foreigners for modest remuneration. The book provides not only authentic historical texts, but also a critical analysis of them
