We know quite a bit about the Russian people's changing opinion on the Romanovs over the course of time - but how well liked/disliked were the Rurik, really? Sure, Ivan 'The Terrible' gives a bit away; but I'm curious as to how Russians at the time viewed the Rurik lineage as a whole. I'm particularly curious as to what they thought about Ivan's family and potential heirs?
What did the Russian people think of the Rurik dynasty during their reign?
