The second part of the film is dedicated to the “oprichnina“. By the time Ivan Vasilyevich returned from Aleksandrovskaya Sloboda, a boyar conspiracy had matured with the participation of the Polish Tsar Sigismund. The closest friend, Prince Kurbsky, betrayed Ivan the Terrible and defected to the Poles. Scenes of bloody reprisals against the boyars, with the recalcitrant Metropolitan Philip Kolychev, are interspersed with Grozny's childhood memories. An iron ring of guardsmen was created around the Tsar, with Malyuta Skuratov at the head...
