Летоисчисление от Иоанна: роман

Nado obʺi͡asnitʹ, chtoby chitatelʹ ne putalsi͡a: snachala byl avtorskiĭ st͡senariĭ dli͡a filʹma o konflikte Ivana Groznogo i mitropolita Filippa, potom on prevratilsi͡a v rezhissërskiĭ st͡senariĭ Pavla Semënovicha Lungina, potom byl filʹm "T͡Sarʹ", kotoryĭ predstavli͡al Rossii͡u na festivale v Kannakh. A potom poi͡avilsi͡a roman "Letoischislenie ot Ioanna", napisannyĭ po avtorskomu st͡senarii͡u. I roman vo mnogom raskhoditsi͡a s filʹmom.Ėto ne istoricheskoe povestvovanie, khoti͡a pochti vse ego geroi - realʹnye istoricheskie lichnosti, a v osnovu polozhena ėskhatologicheskai͡a kont͡sept͡sii͡a oprichniny, razrabotannai͡a doktorom istoricheskikh nauk Andreem Lʹvovichem I͡Urganovym. Ėto roman-misterii͡a. V nëm nad Kremlëm poi͡avli͡ai͡utsi͡a Vsadniki Apokalipsisa, a t͡sarit͡sa prevrashchaetsi͡a v bibleĭskui͡u Saranchu, v nëm Iisus khoronit russkikh ratnikov, porublennykh pod Polot͡skom, a Groznyĭ piruet s chernoknizhnikami, koldunami i mertvet͡sami. Roman - ne khronika zverstv "kromeshnikov", a pritcha o prokli͡atii russkoĭ vlasti.Ivan Groznyĭ zhdët Kont͡sa Sveta. V gordyne samovlastʹi͡a on voobrazhaet sebi͡a spasitelem svoego naroda, Khristom Vtorogo prishestvii͡a. I uchrezhdaet oprichninu - orden zashchity very. Esli narod poverit v t͡sari͡a kak v boga, t͡sarʹ stanet chudotvort͡sem. Manoveniem ruki on povergnet vsekh vragov v prakh i pokroet zemli͡u tuchnymi nivami. Nuzhno tolʹko zastavitʹ narod poveritʹ v t͡sari͡a. Zastavitʹ siloĭ - terrorom oprichniny. No solovet͡skiĭ igumen Filipp, chelovek prostoĭ i i͡asnyĭ, ne mozhet sluzhitʹ t͡sari͡u kak bogu. I vot togda ochi vperi͡ai͡utsi͡a v ochi, i protiv zamakha topora podnimaetsi͡a krest.

It is necessary to explain so that the reader does not get confused: first there was an author's script for a film about the conflict between Ivan the Terrible and Metropolitan Philip, then it turned into a director's script by Pavel Semenovich Lungin, then there was the film "Tsar", which represented Russia at the Cannes Film Festival. And then the novel "The Chronology of John" appeared, written according to the author's script. And the novel is at odds with the film in many ways.This is not a historical narrative, although almost all of its characters are real historical figures, and it is based on the eschatological concept of the oprichnina, developed by Doctor of Historical Sciences Andrey Lvovich Yurganov. This is a mystery novel. In it, Horsemen of the Apocalypse appear over the Kremlin, and the queen turns into a biblical Locust, in it Jesus buries Russian soldiers chopped up near Polotsk, and the Terrible feasts with warlocks, sorcerers and the dead. The novel is not a chronicle of the atrocities of the "Kromeshnikov", but a parable about the curse of the Russian government.Ivan the Terrible is waiting for the End of the World. In the pride of autocracy, he imagines himself the savior of his people, the Christ of the Second Coming. And establishes the oprichnina – the Order of protection of the faith. If the people believe in the tsar as God, the tsar will become a miracle worker. With a wave of his hand, he will throw all enemies into the dust and cover the earth with fat fields. It is only necessary to make the people believe in the tsar. Force – terror of the Oprichnina. But the Solovetsky abbot Philip, a simple and clear man, cannot serve the tsar as god. And then the eyes are fixed on the eyes, and a cross rises against the swing of the axe.
