The Veche bell is a symbol of the Novgorod freemen and therefore an enemy of the state, in which everything must be subordinated to the sovereign power, the power of the Prince of Moscow. Endowed with great intelligence, Tsar Ivan III sits high, looks far and sees the only true path for the Russian lands in bring them together under a strong hand. This is the only way, according to the wise prince, to achieve prosperity and well-being for everyone, however, even in Veliky Novgorod, people are not stupid. And they have their own opinion. And they want to defend their primordial right to convene a noisy and riotous assembly, to decide for themselves how to live. History will judge who is right.
