Russia: Monument to 'Ivan the Terrible' unveiled to mixed reactions
A monument to Tsar Ivan IV, better known as “Ivan the Terrible,” was unveiled in the city of Oryol, on Friday, causing mixed reactions amongst locals.
SOT, Anna Tulevskaya, local citizen (Russian): It is necessary to hold discussions on this subject, about the role of Ivan the Terrible in the history. One needs to discuss it. But building monuments? What for? Whom are you going to worship?
SOT, Andrei Sledkov, sculptor, one of the creators of the monument (Russian): You know before the monument was unveiled I'd heard and read a lot of negative comments in mass media. I would like to emphasise that one should learn about the historical significance of this person and not limit oneself to the school curriculum, but to find those works that have been written precisely about Ivan the Terrible. It is necessary that people understand that he made an enormous contribution to the establishment of the state, that he was the first Tsar and that he introduced such innovations which have never been done before.

Russian City Inaugurates First Statue of Ivan the Terrible
After many protests and court battles, the Russian city Orel has erected the country's first monument to Ivan the Terrible, the ruthless 16th century first ever czar in all of Russia. On Friday, a ceremony was held where officials inaugurated the statue of Ivan on horseback, wielding a sword and a cross. At the ceremony, Vadim Potomsky said We have a great, powerful president who has forced the whole world to respect and defer to Russia, just like Ivan the Terrible did in his time.

Controversial monuments in Russia
Since toppling statues of Joseph Stalin, post-Soviet Russians have taken to building monuments to a different national hero in recent years: Ivan the Terrible (Oryol, Russia) — A year ago, Russia built its first monument to tsar Ivan the Terrible, who ruled in the 16th century. When he occupied the city of Polotsk, in Belarus, in 1563, he ordered that all the Jews who refused to be baptized be drowned in the river. Tsar Nicholas II, the last emperor of the Russian Empire. Declared a saint and a martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church seven years ago, the tsar has been depicted in stone embraced by an angel. During his reign, pogroms broke out throughout the Russian empire resulting in the murder of approximately 3,000 Jews. Speaking on behalf of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, Boruch Gorin said that he understands if the monuments are built out of respect for the lawless execution of Nicholas Romanov, as well as his wife, his innocent children, and his servants. What he does not support, however, is the elevation of Nicholas II to sainthood and honoring him for having been a great ruler of the country, he said. While there are no documents that prove that Nicholas II ordered or directed the pogroms himself, he certainly did nothing to stop them, said Gorin. Anton Denikin (Moscow, Russia) — In 2005, the remains of Anton Denikin, commander of the White forces who fought against the Red Army during the Russian Civil War, were honorably returned to Moscow and a monument was erected on Denikin’s grave. The military forces that Denikin commanded during the Russian Civil War organized pogroms that are estimated to have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Jews including women and children.

Альбом видов Орловско-Витебской железной дороги
Here I present an album of coloured drawings of the Oryol-Vitebsk Railway produced at towards the end of the 19th century.
The coloured plates are quite beautiful and give a good impression of the railway line at a time before the Revolution.
Shame there is no picture of Vitebysk Station.

D'où vient la légende noire d'Ivan le Terrible ? [Portraits d'Histoire #01]
Après avoir réformé la Russie et vaincu les Tatars à Kazan et Astrakhan, Ivan IV va sombrer peu à peu dans une folie meurtrière suite au décès de son épouse. Son fameux surnom apparaît à cette époque. Mais quels ont été les actes qui lui ont valu d’être surnommé le Terrible pour la postérité, et cette légende noire est-elle vraiment justifiée ?

Борис Годунов. Избранный царствовать. Boris Godunov. Chosen to rule
В конце XVI века, после смерти Ивана Грозного, царём становится его сын, болезненный и бездетный Фёдор Иоаннович. «Фёдор царствует, Борис управляет», — так говорили об этом времени. Со смертью Фёдора в начале 1598 года московская ветвь рода Рюриковичей пресеклась, и в Русском государстве свершилось невиданное доселе событие: новый царь был избран.
