Ruhtinas Serebrjani: Kertomus Iivana Julman ajoilta Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Serebrenni Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Ruhtinas Serebrjani: Kertomus Iivana Julman ajoilta" by Aleksei Konstantinovitš Tolstoi is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book unfolds during the tumultuous era of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, focusing on the character of Prince Nikita Romanovitsh Serebrjani as he navigates the dangerous political landscape and the brutality of the Opritshniks, the tsar's personal guard. The narrative likely delves into themes of loyalty, power struggles, and the impact of tyranny on both individuals and society. The opening portion of the novel introduces the protagonist, Nikita Romanovitsh Serebrjani, as he returns to Russia after a diplomatic mission. His reputation as a straightforward and honorable man quickly comes into conflict with the harsh reality of Ivan's regime, specifically the Opritshniks' oppressive authority. As he witnesses the violence and injustice perpetrated against the peasantry by these enforcers, his indignation mounts, setting the stage for his own moral dilemmas and potential rebellion against the prevailing brutality. The reader is drawn into a richly detailed world filled with cultural vibrancy, as well as the tension between personal honor and the demands of a tyrannical state.
