В первой половине ХV века в Московском государстве происходила затяжная кровопролитная феодальная война, шедшая между потомками, вел. кн. Дмитрия Донского.

Локация и обстоятельства произошедшей в феврале 1446 г. трагедии не решаются однозначно в ряде русских летописей.

In the first quarter of the XV century, a protracted bloody feudal war took place in the Moscow state, which was going on between the descendants of the great Prince Dmitry Donskoy. Since 1425, the Moscow throne was occupied by Prince Vasily II, nicknamed the Dark One, who received this nickname after his overthrow and blinding, by order of his brother Prince. Dmitry Shemyakа. The location and circumstances of the tragedy that occurred in February 1446 are not clearly resolved in a number of Russian chronicles. Thus, the Dubrovsky list of the Novgorod Chronicle named the Trinity-Sergius Monastery as the place of Basil's blindness, while most other chronicle vaults speak of the execution in Moscow, in the courtyard of the village of Shemyakа.
