Императрица Фике

V. Ivanov’s book includes three stories about Russian antiquity, resurrecting for the modern reader some turning points in the history of the formation and stages of development of Russian statehood in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. “Ivan the Third” depicts the time of the end of the Tatar-Mongol yoke and the strengthening of the power of the Moscow prince, who gathered scattered Russian lands, small principalities and cities under his hand and laid the foundation for the European policy of the Russian centralized state. "The Night of Tsar Peter" gives pictures of the struggle of the old boyar way of life against Peter's reforms. "Empress Fike" is a documentary chronicle of the initial period of that fierce struggle that accompanied the emergence of Russia on the world stage - intrigues and conspiracies around the Russian throne. All three stories are written on specific historical material, supported by excerpts from letters, decrees, chronicles and chronicles of that time.
