It's a site of Russian magazine(( But I'll try to translate the part I liked most of all. Mostly there's old information :)

I liked this passage very much cos I always myself say that Richard it praised too much. A bit lated I'll translate another part I liked)

He isn't very famous for his feats. Meanwhile this doomed young man during his short life accomplished much more outstanding deeds, than, to say, his world-wide famous contemporary Richard the Lionheart, (1157-1199), and, moreover, in much more difficult circumstances.

Oh! Yeah, what i liked was that she really did state that the wrong man was called Lionheart :)

The author puts in appraisal of her own, and that creates, hm, peculiar style of the article.

... hehe, look at it, one of the paragraphs is called "Shameless Guy".

Yeah, and "an adventurer"! But I think that's true in some way ;)
