Тайная любовь княгини

The Grand Duke of All Russia Vasily the Third, not waiting for an heir from his wife Solomonia, exiles his hateful wife to a monastery. The new empress, the Lithuanian princess Elena Glinskaya, lived up to Vasily's hopes and gave birth to his long-awaited son, who later became world famous under the name of Ivan IV the Terrible.
Family happiness, however, did not last long. Vasily the Third dies from a witchcraft slander.
A fragile widow and her young son-heir to the throne are trying to be removed from power by the rebellious boyars and brothers of the late sovereign. Both military might and bribery are used, and the most effective weapon of that time is evil spirits.
Elena's favorite, the powerful nobleman and famous governor Ivan Fedorovich Ovchina-Telepnev-Obolensky, stands up to defend the throne.
The struggle for The Kremlin is moving with varying degrees of success.
