Produktbeschreibung

Dmitry Savvatievich Dmitriev (1848-1915) was a Russian writer and playwright, descended from a Moscow merchant family. Educated at home under strict religious supervision, he served in the library of Moscow University from the 1870s onward, simultaneously publishing short stories and essays. In the 1880s, Dmitriev became renowned as a writer of plays for "folk stages," and later turned to historical fiction, authoring over sixty novels and short stories. In the final years of his life, after the tragic death of his son, he took holy orders, which left its mark on his literary legacy. This volume includes two of his historical stories. "Boyarynya Morozova" is dedicated to the tragic fate of Feodosia Prokofyevna Morozova, a vibrant and courageous defender of the Old Believers and companion of Archpriest Avvakum. Her loyalty to the "Old Faith" cost her freedom and her life: she was stripped of her estate, exiled, imprisoned in a monastery, and died of starvation, becoming a symbol of unwavering resistance. In the novella "Princess Elena Glinskaya," the reader encounters the widow of Grand Duke Vasily III, who, having assumed power after his death, became the de facto ruler of the Muscovite state and the mother of the future Ivan the Terrible. Both novellas reveal the fates of women whose names are inextricably linked with key turning points in Russian history, and demonstrate how personal strength and determination can influence the course of national events.
