Pavel I - Valishevskii Kazimir

The library of the "History of the Russian State" project is the best monuments of historical literature recommended by Boris Akunin, which reflect the biography of our country, from its very origins.
The famous Polish historian Kazimir Valishevsky in his books created a large-scale panorama of the life and mores of Russia of the 17th - 19th centuries, showed a brutal struggle for the throne, which has not subsided for centuries. One of the most famous books by K. Valiszewski is dedicated to Tsar Ivan the Terrible - a personality multifaceted and ambiguous, to this day unsolved. Who is he - a reasonable ruler or a cruel madman? A visionary reformer or an immenothed tyrant obsessed with the thirst for absolute power? Despite the fact that many assessments and conclusions of the famous Polish scientist today may seem controversial, "Ivan the Terrible" will certainly interest all fans of national history, primarily due to the huge number of little-known actual material.
