    correct

    A portrait of Ivan IV. Specialists - historians, profilers - defining the traits of tsar, from terrible childhood to the relation with Church, keeping of power,ambition to the Baltic, oprichnichi and death of older son, the fascination of Stalin about this last Rurik and the legacy , completed by Peter the Great. . Sure, conventional and far to be different by other historical documentaries. But correct, looking for offer a large perspective about the personality and life of the Russian leader.
