The Tsar and Oprichniks - the historical story of Lev Zhdanov "The Tsar and the Oprichniks" is a historical story by the talented writer of the late XIX - the first quarter of the XX century Lev Grigorievich Gelman, better known under the pseudonym Lev Zhdanov. The book is dedicated to Ivan the Terrible and the turning point of his reign, when oprichnina was introduced. The author traces the life of Ivan IV from the capture of Kazan to his last days, when he took monastic tonsure under the name of the monk Jonah. The reader witnesses the key events of that time: the defeat of Novgorod, reforms, a fierce struggle for power and changes that forever changed the course of Russian history. Zhdanov not only describes historical events, but also masterfully recreates the atmosphere of the XVI century, paying attention to everyday life, customs, the character of the ruler and his entourage.
