Бандитский Петербург — это самая полная криминальная история Северной столицы с момента ее основания до настоящего времени. "...в каком-то смысле книга Бандитский Петербург для меня — это бесконечная литературно-исследовательская каторга, отбывая которую с каждым годом все труднее находить в себе силы продолжать работу... И все-таки, как мне кажется, тема "Бандитского Петербурга", будучи сейчас не столь "спекулятивно-актуальной", как это было в девяностые годы прошлого столетия, по-прежнему остается интересной... Истории многих героев не завершены, а значит — не дорассказаны. Так что книга все еще не закончена". Андрей Константинов.

He lived and he loved like one of the giants of old." Discover the life and struggles of one of the most influential rulers through this precise, clear and thorough presentation.

Ivan IV the Terrible was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1533 to 1547, then Tsar of All Russia until his death in 1584. He transformed Russia from a medieval state into an empire, though at immense cost to its people, and its broader, long-term economy. He was described as intelligent and devout, yet given to rages and prone to episodic outbreaks of mental instability that increased with his age. In one such outburst, he killed his son and heir Ivan Ivanovich, which left his younger son, pious but politically ineffectual, to inherit the throne.
