The establishment of a new dynasty on the Russian throne coincided with the end of the Middle Ages, when the New Age was loudly declaring itself in all spheres of existence. The daily life of the Moscow sovereigns brightly and diversely reflected this process. The book deals with events of state importance (crowning, receptions of foreign ambassadors, church festivals, etc.), family celebrations and mournful dates (weddings, birthdays, christenings, etc.), the phenomena of the rapid development of the state.), phenomena of the rapidly developing court culture (theater, poetry, fine arts, music), as well as the most diverse manifestations of private and economic life of Russian monarchs in the Kremlin palace and country estates (gardening, "fun and refreshment", hunting "catches"). Against the background of traditional forms of court life, the author traces how the tsarist culture, which accumulated all the best artistic and intellectual forces of the country, made a breakthrough into the New Age, reflected in "painterly" painting, baroque poetry, the birth of drama and ballet, music and garden art. The author's task is not just to describe the events of everyday life, but to try to uncover the inner springs that drove the culture of the Russian tsars and forced them to make radical changes and innovations.
