The main theme of Dilettante magazine No. 099 (March 2024) is infighting.
Succession to the throne is a powder keg. Medieval history gives dozens of examples of this. Often the mistakes of fathers and grandfathers led to wars between their sons and grandsons. In 1389 died Grand Duke of Vladimir and Novgorod, Prince Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy of Moscow, who had six male heirs. A responsible ruler, he, of course, made a will, but it was written in such a way that its interpretation is still controversial. And in the XV century in the Moscow principality broke out internecine war. It was caused by this obscure will. After the death of his son Vasily Dmitrievich, the grandson of Donskoy - Vasily Vasilyevich - was put on the throne. The Grand Duke's uncle Yuri Dmitrievich did not tolerate it. That's where it all began...
For medieval history, a child on the throne is practically a guarantee of turmoil. There were always uncles or cousins of the minor ruler, who put forward claims to the throne. But in the same way there were also mothers who defended the rights of their sons. Such was Sophia Vitovtovna, the mother of Vasily the Dark. Disputes with brothers, sons and even grandsons continued among Rurikovich and two centuries after Basil Dark. The Moscow branch of Rurikovich has begun with Prince Daniel Aleksandrovich, younger son Alexander Nevsky. And ended with Fyodor Ivanovich, son of Ivan the Terrible.
In the permanent rubrics:
In the "Document" readers will learn who are the "Amazons" of Stalin. Alexei Kuznetsov in "Process" will tell about Wojciech Jaruzelski, and Julia Demidenko in the column "Architecture of Power" - about the White House. In the literary portrait gallery - Alexander Vertinsky.
