Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* Ivan the Terrible is not on the monument to the Millennium of Russia in the Novgorod Kremlin. And this is not surprising, because here he left a bad memory about himself. Nevertheless, his mark on the history of Novgorod was not limited to the Oprichnina pogrom. During this tour, you will learn where the tsar stayed and what he did during his visits to Novgorod, what Novgorod was like at that time, where the oprichniks and their victims lived, what was built in the city during the era of Ivan the Terrible. Route: - from the church of Nikita the Martyr, next to which the courtyard where the tsar lived for a long time was located, to Mikhailovskaya Street and to the church of Kliment, restored by the merchant Vasily Tarakanov during the reign of Grozny; - to Yaroslavovo Dvorishche, where the construction of the tsar's residence was planned, and then across the pedestrian bridge to Detinets, in which you can recall many stories related to the main character of this tour; - from Detinets to Veselaya Gorka, which became the bastion of the Small Earthen City built under Ivan the Terrible. The tour is led by a candidate of historical Sciences, author of guidebooks and books about the history of Veliky Novgorod.
