In the bloody reign of Ivan the Terrible, the oprichniks were called “the tormentors” (kromeshniks) by the people—such a dreadful terror they brought upon the country.
But our modern-day contemporary, thrown into this merciless era, will personally set up a tormenting hell for the tsar’s executioners!
He will shoot oprichniks down like mad dogs.
He will become the secret agent of the archbishop to save Novgorod from the tsar’s pogrom.
Under the guise of a holy fool, he will stir up Moscow, because “you can’t pray for the king—God’s mother forbids it!”
He will head the “powder plot” to blow up the tsar’s carriage.
But is one man able, even a “kromeshnik” from the future, to change the course of history?…
