The Years of the oprichnina had a significant impact on the formation and development of the Russian state. Tsar Ivan the terrible took place on the throne in 1547, in the turbulent period of internal and external political upheavals. In the middle of the XVI century, the country needs large-scale transformation. However, the oprichnina – this is not the first global policy of Ivan IV on the throne. It was preceded by no less fateful for the country era activities Elected Parliament.
The name given to the collection of a number of nobles, clergy and government officials, who from 1547 to 1560, the actual informal government in the state. Basically, all the reforms of this government were aimed at creating a strong enough bureaucracy in the country, government agencies, judicial and administrative orders and so on. Strictly speaking, such a centralization of power demanded by time. After all, absolute monarchies in the same period, occurred throughout Europe and was at that time a progressive phenomenon.
However, the activities and the mere existence of Elected Parliament to be contrary for a number of reasons aspirations of Ivan the terrible. The final break between the sovereign and his companions occurred about the year 1560, which resulted oprichnina. This was mainly due to the following reason. The king simply did not suit the slow, progressive nature of the reforms Elected Rada. Over time, he began to think that nobles deliberately delaying the centralization of power to save the remnants of feudal fragmentation, and with them their power in the regions. So, in 1560, he accused two members of its own government Agency that they intend to concentrate in their hands the entire state power. The last spark that finally inflamed the hatred of the king to the boyar aristocracy, was the transition of one of the former members of the government, Andrei Kurbsky in the camp of poles in the period of the Livonian war. The reason that prompted to this nobleman, it was just discontent and disagreement with the fact that the king tramples on centuries-old rights and liberties of the boyars. Ivan the terrible, in turn, saw this as proof of the treacherous nature of the boyars. That moment was launched the oprichnina. This occurred in 1565. The Governor was personally obedient formed military corps, which now had force to establish order in the state.

The second part was called the zemshchina and was ruled by the boyar Duma. Limits the personal destiny of Ivan the IV is constantly expanding and occupied large areas in the country. However, the king has achieved unquestioning right for themselves and the boyar's consent that he willfully can be executed and subjected to disgrace anyone deemed a traitor. Whether to once again to say that after the demarche of Andrey Kurbsky the Tsar saw traitors and conspirators everywhere among aristocracy.
