This book includes Stepan Veselovsky's classic essays on the Oprichnina. Written exclusively on the basis of documents, many of which were studied by the author for the first time, they contain the most important information about how Ivan the Terrible conceived the idea of a personal estate with a special army and state apparatus, what lands were included in it, how the Oprichny Court was organized and how it differed from the former Sovereign's Court. And also about why the Oprichnina was liquidated as suddenly as it appeared, against whom the terror of the Oprichniki was directed and what was its cause, how the confiscation of lands of the boyar and princely nobility took place, denunciations were composed and executions were carried out. Veselovsky tells in detail about who was a member of the "oprichnaya thousand", which later expanded to six thousand people, and gives service lists of oprichniki, where you can find many representatives of famous Russian families.
