Russia, a source of inspiration for Shakespeare. The Winter’s Tale – a story with a “Russian theme”

Summary/Abstract: The publication of Rerum Moscoviticarum Commentarii, the reign of Ivan IV, and the stability of Russian-English relations in 1553 are three major events in European geohistory. These events had a major contribution to bringing Russia to the forefront of Western perception after the Mongol occupation isolated Russia from Europe. A new image of Moscovia (Russia) emerged in the European perception, in which the British, especially those who had direct contact with Russian realities, played a major role. Along with them, poets and playwrights would contribute to the multiplication of Russia's image by introducing Russian themes into their works. The Russian theme is also present in Shakespeare's creation, both in his comedies and tragedies, but most obviously it can be noted in the romantic drama The Winter's Tale.
