A memorial to Tsar Ivan the Terrible has just been unveiled in an old Russian city Oryol.
This memorial has aroused great controversy among Russians.
By the way, exactly Tsar Ivan the Terrible, rather rhan Peter I, was the model leader for Stalin.
This my article tells about Iwan the Terrible, about Stalin and about S. Eisenstein who directed a well-known film about Ivan the Terrible.
The article consists in two versions - the Russian original written by me and a good English translation made by Richard Commbes from England.
