The Oprichnina. From Ivan the Terrible to Putin
10 hrs. 26 min.
Description
More and more people are talking about the need for a “new oprichnina” to fight the “fifth column” and corruption. They say Russia’s “elites” are so struck by theft and betrayal, and the metastases of treason have spread so deeply into all law-enforcement agencies that, following Ivan the Terrible’s example, it is necessary to create an entirely new power structure accountable only to the head of state.
But how did this “experiment” end five centuries ago? What does history teach us? Did the OPRICHNINA save Rus’—or, on the contrary, did it ruin the Moscow kingdom? Can the rule of law be established by lawless methods? And what price must be paid for tyranny and repression?
