What's going on

♦ Secret marriage unions and the unique “diplomacy of icons” between Vilna and Moscow.

♦ About the scandal with the golden belt right at the princely wedding, which provoked years of brutal war and brought the state to the brink of destruction.

♦ As Sophia Vitovtovna survived captivity, the blinding of her son and at the age of about 80 personally supervised the defense of the Kremlin from the raids of the Tatars.

Vadim Gigin will tell the story of the great fate, the fragile peace of the two competing powers and the birth of a single all-Russian policy that opened the way to the throne of her grandson, Ivan III. We talk about past events in order to better understand the present and perhaps look into the future.
