The personality of Ivan the Terrible has always attracted the attention of both scientists and artists. Both of them were fascinated by the combination in his rich nature of the most opposite properties, the brightness and tragedy of the events that are associated with his name. Most striking of all was the cruelty of Ivan IV, information about which was preserved by us not always quite impartial notes of contemporaries - Russian boyars who suffered from the wrath of the "formidable" tsar, and foreigners who watched the growth of the power of the Russian state with fear and hostility. It was not easy to reconcile everything known about the cruelties attributed to Ivan IV with facts from the history of his reign, which testify to his great mind, and with the breadth of reforms carried out in his reign, with the courage and foresight of his foreign policy.
