Иоанн Грозный. Звезды и числа

Ivan the Terrible is a bright and controversial figure in Russian history. Who is he: an executioner who surpassed Caligula, Nero and Dracula? Or the saint, "Don Quixote", defender of the faith? For some, he is a wise ruler, a reformer, for others - a tyrant who started a war against his own people. A descendant of the bloody Khan Mamai, who occupied the Russian throne - what did he do for the country? Strengthened, expanded its borders - or torn to pieces, weakened, leaving it defenseless against a foreign invasion? You will find answers to these questions in the book.
