In 15th Century Russia, the last Byzantium Princess, Sophia Palaiologina, moves from Rome to distant Moscow to marry Czar Ivan III. Destined to become the first influential female figure of the Russian Empire, Sophia overcomes court intrigue and betrayals, and helps Ivan consolidate the fragmented country, push Mongolian invaders out, and build the Kremlin, the most magnificent symbol of Russia.

The TV show is about the Godunov family, which covers the period from the reign of Ivan the Terrible to the accession of Mikhail Romanov to the throne.

Ivan the Terrible is the most discussed Character in the Russian history. At the same time, Ivan is the most unsolved mystery of the Russian Czars. The scale of his political achievements has always overshadowed a living person, and the unparalleled cruelty that entered folklore literally ruled out the possibility of a more complex view of character. The series is an humble attempt to understand the origins of the actions of Ivan IV and look into the dark labyrinth of his soul. Ivan IV of Russia is gradually reborn into the same Ivan the Terrible - a cruel tyrant. And now rumors of his ruthlessness and violent temper are becoming true, and these changes in the character of the king are changing history. Enemies are approaching Russia - will the country be able to survive?

Spring 1941. A tense duel between two intelligence services is unfolding in the center of Moscow. The purpose of Hitler's secret operation is to misinform Stalin about Germany's plans to attack the Soviet Union.

The year is 1906. Pyotr Stolypin, who has just been appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Empire, arrives in St. Petersburg. A group of maximalist revolutionaries is developing a plan to kill the "enemy of the revolution." But how to get close to such an important person? Who will emerge victorious in this confrontation — the fanatical, firmly convinced supporters of the revolution, ready to lay down their lives in the name of alleviating the fate of oppressed workers and peasants, or the all-powerful chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, working tirelessly to restore order in a country torn apart by political violence.
