Women’s fates in the history of Russia are filled with bitterness and suffering, and at times with mystical tragedy as well. A wife who lost her husband and is ready to take revenge on him cruelly and mercilessly in order to protect herself and her child; a deranged mother who tears herself toward the throne, sacrificing her four-year-old son. Russian queens who ruled with fire and sword, and foreign women who raised Russian culture to unprecedented heights. After all, witches and saints—essentially, history’s course is set by their hand.
