Alexey Goncharov and his colleague, historian and UrFU lecturer Evgeny Rusakov, delve into one of the most dramatic and controversial periods in Russian history—the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The first episode is dedicated to the "legacy" of Ivan the Terrible. We will discuss the circumstances of the death of the first Russian tsar, examine the source material for the period, and try to understand: did Ivan the Terrible's policies inevitably precipitate the Time of Troubles, or did the country have a chance to avoid the catastrophe? In this video: What sources allow us to reconstruct the events of those years? The mystery of Ivan IV's death: illness, chess, or a boyar conspiracy? The scale of his legacy: from territorial acquisitions to a profound economic crisis. Dynastic crisis: the fate of Ivan the Terrible's five sons and the extinction of the male line of the Rurik dynasty. Leave your thoughts on the new format and any related questions in the comments!
