From the school history course we know about the oprichniks of Ivan the Terrible. But what does the word oprichnik itself mean? and got a better answer
Response from Алексей Гурьянов[+++++]
Oh my God, Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich! We wrote our song about you, About your favourite oprichnik, About the brave merchant, about Kalashnikov; We composed it in the old way, We sang it with a guslyar bell and told it to the Orthodox people, And boyar Matvey Romodanovsky gave us a cup of foam, And his white-faced boyarina gave us on a silver plate A new towel, sewn in silk, They treated us for three days. The tsar suggested setting up an oprichnina (court of oprichnina) to deal with the traitors and the disobedient. It was a special court, created by the Tsar, with special boyars, with special butlers, treasurers and other managers, clerks, all kinds of clerks and courtiers, with the whole staff of the court. Chronicler strongly stresses this phrase "special court", that the king sentenced everything in this court "teach yourself especially". From the military men he chose a thousand people for the oprichnina, and they were assigned the streets of Prechistenka, Sivtsev vrazhek, Arbat, and the left side of Nikitskaya Street with several estates outside the walls of White City, outside the line of today's boulevards, in the capital city, up to Novodevichy monastery?
Oh, my goodness, Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich! We wrote a song about you About your favourite oprichnik And about the brave merchant Kalashnikov; We composed it in the old way We sang it with a psaltery ringing And told it and told it to the Orthodox people It amused us The boyar Matvey Romodanovsky gave us a cup of sparkling wine And his white-faced boyarina brought us on a silver plate A new towel sewn in silk They entertained us for three days. The tsar proposed to set up an oprichnina (court of oprichnina) to deal with the traitors and the disobedient. It was a special court, formed by the Tsar with special boyars, treasurers and other managers clerks and other clerks and court men with the entire staff of the court. The chronicler strenuously strikes on this expression "special court" that Tsar has sentenced all in this court "take to yourselves especially". From the military men he chose a thousand men for the oprichnina (court house), to whom the streets of Prechistenka, Sivtsev vrazhek Arbat, and the left side of Nikitskaya Street with some estates outside the walls of the White City, outside the line of the present-day boulevards, were allotted in the capital city
