cursed forever Traitors to the Russian Earth All of you will be cursed... cursed for all eternity! Only Dmitri... his son... can save Russia Once you have rejected undivided authority no matter how strong, courageous, intelligent you may be your government will be directionless Your feuds and hatreds will deliver you up to the foreigner The boyars will never submit to the offspring of the Prince of Moscow Power must pass to a Tsar who will share it with the boyars and who will serve not some unknown Russian State but the noble boyars Swear allegiance to the Tsar Vladimir! Long live the Tsar of the boyars! Which road shall I travel? The one which leads to the throne or the one which leads to marriage? Who should I choose? Anastasia?... Efrosinia? Anastasia, if you will be mine I will protect you from the boyars If you will be mine I will raise you to the throne If you will be mine, we will rule Russia together! Without you my life has no meaning Nor death either With you, the throne... or the scaffold it's all the same! My Tsarina of Moscow! Prince, one does not bury a man before he is dead You mean Ivan isn't dead? God will be your judge! Ivan is not dead! If Ivan is not dead... Kurbsky can no longer live In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost I swear by the Holy Writ to serve faithfully the heir to the throne, the legitimate Tsar of Moscow Dmitri Ivanovich In evidence of which, I kiss the cross The Holy Sacrament has cured me! You... have always been close to the Tsar I shall raise you higher still for at the hour of the supreme test you alone remained faithful I shall invest you with a sacred mission We have consolidated the East you will lead the Russian forces to the West... to the Baltic! Flying like an arrow? Well, fly! And to defend our southern borders against the Crimean Khan I appoint Alexei Basmanov Who? Who is he? The Tsar trusts no one He sends away the boyars who are closest to him He surrounds himself with nobodies Like these low-born Basmanovs and takes them into his confidence I know He strips us of our hereditary possessions and distributes them to absolutely anyone He persecutes the boyars Shchenyatov has been arrested! Kurletov has been arrested! I know I'm going to escape I dare not I'm frightened... I shall flee to Livonia Ivan Ivanovich, aren't you ashamed? The Archbishop has gone to see the Tsar He'll get us pardoned The Tsar pardons no one He has stripped me, his confessor... of everything He's sending me from Moscow to Novgorod I'm going to get away! For God's sake fly Let cowards run away! Those who stay will fight! Whilst the Tsar's best friend Kurbsky is away... we must take him firmly in hand To start with we must curb Ivan's power We must oppose his military campaigns refuse the money for the war in the Baltic provinces But above all else we must separate Anastasia from Ivan It is I who will take charge of that I need the maritime towns, the Baltic towns Riga... Revel I need Narva Once again the Rigans and the Hanseatics have intercepted the English ships Once again they deprive me of lead, of sulphur and my artillery of trained gunners! I shall use force to stop these treacherous neighbours from throttling our commerce Not only the Germans are stumbling-blocks to our ambitions, but also you boyars! In opposing my campaigns in the Baltic you are worse than the Germans and the Livonians You are Russia's worst enemies You see, Nepeya, just why I have to bring about this alliance Take this present to the gracious Queen Elizabeth of England You will demonstrate to her with these pieces just how the English boats can go around the Baltic to reach us by the White Sea in the teeth of the Germans and Livonians And remind her that Tsar Ivan in Moscow is solely in charge of negotiations That he orders and controls all ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Беловы на английском - текст Близнецы на английском - текст Вокзал для двоих на английском - текст История о плавучей траве на английском - текст Адмирал на английском |
