The publication is a catalog of an exhibition dedicated to the art of the era of Ivan the Terrible. Works of art were selected for her - icons, products of goldsmiths, face sewing - incorporating ideas relevant for this time. The catalog was based on exhibits directly related to the Kremlin - the residence of the first Russian tsar - and are now in the Museums of the Moscow Kremlin, but they are significantly supplemented by the most important works from the museums of Russia and the Library of Uppsala University (Sweden) to illustrate the concept of the exhibition.
