Leonid Gaidai's film comedy titled "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession" is known and loved by many generations. One of the highlights in the film was the diplomatic visit of the Swedish Ambassador and his insistence give "Kemsk volost", which Bunsha, by the simplicity of his soul, almost gave him on a silver platter border. On time, Georges Miloslavsky entered the game. Otherwise, it is not known how such carelessness of the "acting" king would have ended.
1. What really happened
If we take real facts, then in 1571, namely this time is reflected in the comedy film, this technique was not, and it could not have been. Then the war with Sweden was in full swing. In Sweden, the Russian ambassadors were sent to prison, so the Swedish would have faced a similar fate, and it would be good if everything was all right.
In addition, the Swedish ambassador under no circumstances would allow himself to talk to the sovereign in such a tone. The Russian diplomatic protocol did not provide for anything of the kind. Anyone who dared to speak in this way was executed without being allowed to finish the thought.
2. And what about the Kemsky volost
It was also in the days of Ivan the Terrible, and in our time this territory exists. It is located in Karelia near the White Sea and is currently the Kemsky region. Its center is g. Kem. And on the other side of the strait are the Solovetsky Islands.
In the opinion of the Swedes, Karelia in general, and Kem in particular, were in their "zone of influence", in connection with which they made repeated attempts to seize it. One of the episodes was the entry of Swedish ships into the Kem water area in 1571, but then they did not try to use weapons. The attack took place in 1579-1580. then they partially captured Kem. M. Ozerov, the voivode, was killed.
Cyprian Anichkov, another voivode, liberated the territory from the Swedes in 1580. But attempts to take possession of it did not stop. The next attacks were in 1852, as well as in 1590. For security purposes in Kem in 1591 at the mouth of the river, which flows into the sea, a powerful fortification was built. In addition, the Solovetsky Monastery was fortified. By the way, this territory was transferred to the monastery.

3. Why was there such a fight for Kem?
Kem, like the Solovetsky Islands, were at that time one of the main suppliers of valuable goods, salt, to the Russian lands. It was in salt that a fairly large number of lands were lacking. In addition, there were other significant goods - the fat of mammals living in the sea. If the Swedes took Kem, they could completely paralyze the activities of the Russians, not only economic, but also military. But, as we can see, they did not get the Kemsk Volost.
It will be no less interesting to know what a solid dagger Ivan the Terrible had from the famous film.
