The first Police state in Russia - Ivan the Terrible [ENG SUB]

Hello. When we created this channel, we planned to make a series of videos about the Soviet special services. Great terror, repression, a massive search for traitors to the motherland around every corner. But the more they thought about this topic, the more it seemed that the foundations of this trash were laid not by the Soviet authorities, but by ... Ivan the Terrible, in the distant 16th century. And the time of the oprichnina can be metaphorically called the first attempt to build a police state in Russia.
Here I want to specifically emphasize that this is just a poetic figure of speech, and not the point of view of historical science. To draw historical parallels is an interesting but not rewarding business. Nevertheless, Ivan the Terrible was indeed the first to decide to rule Russia with terror. And we can tell you what came out of this policy.
