The book consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to the biography of Andrei Kurbsky, a boyar and voevode of the XVIth century, an author of the first Russian autobiography written according to the Renaissance canons, a political emigrant and a brilliant polemicist, who struggled for the Orthodoxy in Grand Duchy of Lithuania and condemned the tyranny of Ivan the Terrible. The second part contains a hermeneutical commentary to three A.Kurbsky’s messages to Ivan the Terrible and their original translation-interpretation.
