Stephen the Great: The Tyrant Who Forged a Nation in Fire

Описание: He was hailed as a Saint by the Pope, but his enemies knew him as a tactical psychopath. Stephen the Great, the forgotten cousin of Vlad Dracula, was a ruler who would burn his own cities and execute his generals to forge a nation in fire.

This documentary explores the brutal, brilliant, and bloody reign of the man who stood alone against the might of the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Polish Crown. We uncover his complex relationship with Dracula, the military genius behind the Battle of Vaslui—one of the greatest defeats the Ottomans ever suffered—and the cold calculus that led him to betray allies to ensure his country's survival. This is the story of how a tyrant became a nation's hero.
