The mighty and dark figure of Tsar Ivan the Terrible overshadows the history of almost the entire Russian Middle Ages. He was debated during his lifetime, and continues to be debated today, four centuries after his death. Some considered him a maniac who drenched the country in the blood of his unfortunate subjects. Others considered him a genius ahead of his time. Perhaps only one thing is certain: Russia after Ivan the Terrible was a completely different country than before. This article explores the personality of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, as well as the development of Russia in the 16th century.
