Abstract
This chapter focuses on Prince Andrei Mikhailovich Kurbskii, who was descended from the princes of Yaroslavl´ and was remotely connected to the family of the Tsaritsa Anastasia. It covers Kurbskii's successful military career, of which he served both in the sieges of Kazan´ and in the Livonian war a year before his flight to Poland-Lithuania on April 30, 1564. It also cites History of Ivan IV which documents Kurbskii's own accounts of his military career. The chapter examines the interpretations by three of the most influential Russian historians: Karamzin, Solov´ev, and Kliuchevskii in relation to Kurbskii's role in Russian history. It explores fine points of interpretation and small increments of meaning that the three Russian historians had laid over or injected into the words of the Kurbskii statements.
