First historical sketch ever!

Lyudmila Tselikovskaya’s actuation in Eisenstein’s “Ivan The Terrible: Part I” was magnificent: The innocence, the woe, the dread and the love that she. She completely conquered the role, and this mortal hands cannot portray her aura and beauty.

As for little tsarevich Dmitri, though the actor that played him was a baby, the moment he rolled in his cradle during his sleep, while Ivan was in his —almost— deathbed and the tsarina was taking care of both of them made me melt. To think that this baby historically met his untimely and unfair ending because of his father stubbornness in taking part of the pilgrimage to Kirillo-Belozeresky Monastery, despite the long and perilous journey in boat ahead and the violent climate, makes me feel very bad, specially for the Tsarina. The fact that Ivan would later name his last son —born from his union with Maria Nagaya— after this first baby boy that he lost at the hands of the sea and his own bad decisions more than three decades prior to the last tsarevich’s birth breaks my heart (specially, when the youngest Dmitri would die under mysterious circumstances, aged 8). Those poor babies
