It may be more expensive than a sheet of blotter acid, but it will have the same immediate effect, and will not reduce your brain to a cheesy rind: the Terry Gilliam's Personal Best DVD.
55 minutes of cut-out historical figures shuffling about and wagging their jaws, for your amusement. Plus helpful tips from the Gill hisself.
I spent my hard-earned money on this, and boy am I glad I did.
Afanasy Nikitin was the first Russian to explore India, which he wound up doing in about 1466.
In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
