We walked around the Great Novgorod and reached the monument "Millennium of Russia". The daughter wondered: why is there no Ivan the Terrible on the monument? I explain: Novgorodans don’t like him, because he once arranged one of his favorite bloody tubs here. For the sake of justice, I add, “He was no more cruel than many rulers of that era, just very evasive.” The child thoughtfully said, “Well, it’s such a Lady Gaga from the Russian monarchy.”
