Ivan The Terrible: The Hunt For The Psychopathic Tzar's Lost Library | Myth Hunters | Chronicle
Ivan the Terrible, the first Tsar of Russia, was known for his cruelty and sadism, but legend suggests he possessed a secret library hidden beneath the Kremlin, containing priceless ancient literature.
In the 20th century, an archaeologist named Stelletskii embarked on a quest to prove the existence of Ivan's library, facing dangers from both Stalin's secret police and the treacherous tunnels beneath Moscow. Ivan's paranoia led him to kill anyone who knew of the library's location, and by the 20th century, most believed it to be merely a legend until Stetsy's determined pursuit.

A typical Chronicle documentary where the end is a variation of ''we will keep looking'' and/or ''we will probably never know''.

Realistically, _anything_ stored underground in damp conditions will long have disintegrated in the intervening centuries, most especially paper and leather bindings. Even if there was once a hidden library, it has not existed for centuries.

That library was gone along time ago. Prob not long after his reign in The Times of Troubles. Also, how many times has Moscow been burned basically to the ground? You’d have as much luck finding the Library of Alexandria as Ivan’s. Btw not sure why the Russian Imperial authorities wouldn’t let Stalinsky dig under the armory tower. Nicholas II was rarely in Moscow. St Petersburg had been the capital of Imperial Russia.
"Ivan The Redoubtable" is correct translation (not the Terrible, but redoubtable). "Terrible" is wrong translation. Feel the difference.

I'm guessing that was a translation issue that made more sense in the original Russian. I used to have a Francophone classmate who used the phrase "close the light" which was a literal translation from the French even if not the correct English.

I suppose vegetarian times could be reference to one of the many famines, plagues, or a brief period of cannibalis. Perhaps it was a polite but poor mistranslation of a colloquial joke about shit...
Игнатий Яковлевич Стеллецкий (Ignatius Yakovlevich Stelletskii) in the 1910s and 1920s had a modern head torch and a modern powerful hand torch did he ? Ohhh ! and in places, bearing in mind the floodlights here and there, I don!t know why he bothered with the head and hand torch, the flood lights would have been better. Ivan, of course, had a glass sided lantern and was also aided, deep in tunnels, by electric back lighting. REMARKABLE !!! This is supposed to be serious, spare us the totally unrealistic and misleading drama
Very cool.
Thats a super cool story

Anyone else feel like that archeologist was a Rick Riordan demigod? This has huge child of Athena trying to find some book his mom lost in the Byzantine Empire. Poor guy.
Things were simpler in those days.
It’s clearly real the list was found so we just need to pick up where he left off😅
It is very painful and shameful that in such films a small fraction of the truth is mixed with outright lies! It’s even more pity for the viewers who believe in all this and spread lies further. You want to know the truth - read books by real historians, not two old types that no one has ever heard of.

Wetterman 16:47 wasn’t actually Estonian, he was a Baltic German (so a German born in the Baltic states, in this case in Estonia, Tartu), those two are very different, Estonians at that time were nothing more than farmers and slaves :((

From the German perspective at the time, the Finno-Ugric Estonians were mere serfs and slaves. It was only in the 19th century, when theories of national self-determination and one nation, one state, were propounded, that Estonians began to become independent.
Sorry. I don't believe 1/2 of what they say.
Wonder why Ivan turned out the way he did. I suppose seeing endless cruelty and wars in russia growing up. His successor , Putin
If the bars had rusted out then the books have rotted away.. and this is why the elites should not be given the keys exclusively to our past...
Probably Poles and Lithuanians eated that library because of hunger during occupation of Moscow in the year 1612
Im pretty sure nobody cared about some nerd looking for old books. If they knew what he was doing they probably would have just let him find it for them then take it for themselves.
geez... some of the dialog in this is, barely listenable... sounds like an essay written by a 7th grader

I didn't need the shock of suddenly being forced to see those ppl being shot the first time early on in this video - but the second time was like getting unexpectedly smacked in the head a second time. Such documentary footage is both unnecessary and highly off-putting. I will now think at least twice prior to viewing this channel's content - which is a real pity in that I've enjoyed some of your others in the past. I just do not need that kind of violence suddenly forced into my mind.
