Are you waiting for a message
from Moscow?
'Have pity O Lord'
The first English boats
laden with consignments
of arms and munitions
have just entered the White Sea
We have outwitted you,
Germans and Livonians!
The day is coming when you
will drop to your knees
before the authority of Moscow
Have mercy, O Lord!
O return! O return!
O return!
The father of us all!
Get the horses saddled,
we are going back to Moscow
to work for the future
of the Great Russian State

A black cloud is forming
A bloody dawn approaching
The boyars have hatched a treacherous plot
Against the Tsar's authority
Which they are now unleashing
This is a film about a man,
who was the first to unite our country
in the 16th century,
a Prince of Moscow
who created a single and powerful state
from a hodgepodge of divided
and self-seeking principalities,
a warlord who heralded
the military glory of our Motherland
throughout the Orient and the Occident,
the first ruler who,
in order to reach these great goals,
had crowned himself
Tsar of All the Russias.
In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost,
the Archduke and Sovereign
Ivan Vasilievich
is crowned Tsar of Moscow,
anointed of God.
Tsar of Moscow,
absolute sovereign of all the Russias.
The Archduke of Moscow has no right
to the title of Tsar!
Europe will never recognize him as Tsar.
If he is powerful enough...
she will recognize him.
They say some of his own subjects
aren't too pleased
about the coronation.
It's not surprising certain
lordly personages aren't delighted.
That's the Grand Duke's cousin,
Vladimir Staritsky,
with his mother.
Ivan's coronation bars their road
to the throne of Moscow.
But it also seems that Ivan
is not without allies.
Not the Archduke's
but the Tsar's.
For he is now Tsar!
O... Tsar, the Lord's anointed,
accept from Him this sceptre.
Accept it, my son.
Accept this orb from God.
Accept it, my son.
In the name of God...
now and forever. Amen.
To the Tsar, the Lord's anointed,
Ivan Vasilievich,
the sovereign of all the Russias,
peace, health and salvation.
May the Lord save him and keep him!
Long life to the Tsar!
Long life to the Tsar!
Long life!
Long life!
Long life!
Long...
life!
Long life!
Long life!
Today, for the first time
the Archduke of Moscow wears the crown
of Tsar of all the Russias.
He thereby puts an end
to the pernicious power of the boyars.
From now on, all the Russias
will form a single State.
What? He dares attack
the power of the boyars?
But to maintain Russia as a single State
we have to be strong.
That is why today
I am founding a regular army,
well equipped, militant, permanent.
And whoever doesn't fight in this army
will contribute to its upkeep.
Pay to cut one's own throat!
Similarly the holy monasteries,
with all their wealth,
will make their contribution.
For their funds pile up
without any advantage to the Russian land.
We shall need a strong and undivided State
if we are going to crush those
who oppose the unity
of the Russian land.
Only a State strong and unified
within its frontiers
can defend itself beyond them.
Our native land
is no more than a trunk
whose limbs have been hacked off.
The sources of our waterways and rivers,
Volga, Dvina, Volkhov are ours,
but the ports at their mouths
are under foreign control.
Our ancestral lands have been torn from us.
That is why, this coronation day
we are going to set
about retaking occupied Russian territory.
Two Romes have fallen.
Moscow is the third.
There will be no fourth,
for I am absolute master of this third Rome,
the Muscovite State.
The Pope won't sanction it!
