⚔️ Почему Радзивиллы отравили дочь Ивана III?

In the new episode of the "Historical Environment" program on SBTV, historian and political scientist Vadim Gigin reveals a dramatic chapter of our past. As part of the "Year of the Belarusian Woman," we will discuss Grand Duchess Elena Ivanovna—daughter of Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow and wife of Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland Alexander Jagiellon. Why did they try for centuries to erase the name of this outstanding ruler from history and consign it to oblivion? What secret religious war did the Catholic bishops of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and influential magnates, including the Radziwill family, wage against her? How did an Orthodox queen on a Catholic throne withstand the colossal pressure of the Vatican and not betray her faith? It is to this tragic and strong woman, whose fate has been lost to us for centuries, that People's Writer of Belarus Ivan Shamyakin dedicated his last, poignant novel, "The Grand Duchess." Watch this episode to find out why the passions surrounding Elena Moskovskaya's name continue to rage even five centuries after her death.
