Résumé
Russian Tsardom: Antagonist of Western Civilization brings to life the dramatic history of Russia as it forged its own unique path, often in opposition to the West. From the fearsome reign of Ivan the Terrible to the transformative rule of Tsar Alexei, this book offers a vivid portrait of a nation shaped by power struggles, faith, and the fight for identity. Long before Marx and Lenin, Ivan Vasili's-son-better known as Ivan the Terrible-sensed the dangers of a world driven by greed.
He saw how a wealthy, corrupt elite could tear society apart, and he predicted the conflicts and moral decay that unchecked profit-seeking would bring. His bitter disillusionment with England, after it abandoned him in his wars against Poland and other rivals, led him to value peace over wealth, even at great cost. One striking moment came in 1581, when Ivan's envoy, Leonty Shevrigin, delivered a message to Pope Gregory XIII.
By refusing to kiss the Pope's shoe, Shevrigin sent a powerful signal of Russia's determination to remain spiritually independent, highlighting the growing tension between the Orthodox and Catholic worlds. The story also explores the rise of the Russian Orthodox Church as the heart of the nation. A wave of church and monastery building swept across the land, creating sacred places that shaped Russia's culture and identity.
Ancient customs blended with the legacy of Byzantium, forming a society deeply rooted in faith and tradition. Under Tsar Alexei (1645-1676), Russia underwent major reforms led by the ambitious Patriarch Nikon. His efforts to align Russian religious practices with Greek Orthodoxy sparked fierce resistance and brutal crackdowns, revealing the struggles between power and tradition. Amidst this turmoil rose Stepan Razin, a bold Cossack leader who inspired the oppressed with promises of freedom.
His rebellion swept through the countryside, but the dream ended in bloody battles against the Tsar's forces-a stark reminder of the high price of defiance. Russian Tsardom concludes with the rise of the Romanov dynasty, showing how the legacies of Ivan, Alexei, and their successors continue to shape Russia today. This is the story of a nation's long, complex journey-forever wrestling with its past, its faith, and its place in a changing world.
