Plot.........: In 1547, Ivan IV (1530-1584), archduke of Moscow, crowns himself
Tsar of Russia and sets about reclaiming lost Russian territory.
In scenes of his coronation, his wedding to Anastasia, his
campaign against the Tartars in Kazan, his illness when all
think he will die, recovery, campaigns in the Baltic and Crimea,
self-imposed exile in Alexandrov, and the petition of Muscovites
that he return, his enemies among the boyars threaten his
success. Chief among them are his aunt, who wants to advance the
fortunes of her son, a simpleton, and Kurbsky, a warrior prince
who wants both power and the hand of Anastasia. Ivan deftly
plays to the people to consolidate his power.
