Alexis Adachef was appointed minister of justice, receiving special instructions to watch the empire with a vigilant eye, that the poor especially should be subject to no oppression. From that moment all the actions of the sovereign were guided by the counsels of Sylvestre and Adachef.
Wonderful Change in the Character of Ivan IV. Confessions of Sin and Measures of Reform. Sylvestre and Alexis Adachef. The Code of Laws. Reforms in the Church. Encouragement To Men of Science and Letters. The Embassage of Schlit. War With Kezan. Disasters and Disgrace. Immense Preparation For the Chastisement of the Horde. The March. Repulse of the Tauredians. Siege of Kezan.
Sylvestre, a humble, world-renouncing Christian, sought nothing for himself, and would accept neither riches nor honors, but he remained near the throne to strengthen the young monarch in his good resolutions. There was a young man, Alexis Adachef, connected with the court who possessed a character of extraordinary nobleness and loveliness.
Experience has proved that, in the counsel of the wise and virtuous, there is safety. There was no sudden change in the character of Ivan. He still continued for some years to manifest the most sincere esteem for the opinions of Sylvestre and Adachef. But the poison of bad principles was gradually diffusing itself through his heart.
