History Explains It All

Ivan the Terrible


Listen Later

This week we are taking a trip back to Russia in the 1500s and looking into the life and reign of Ivan the Terrible. At the age of 16 he became the first Tzar of all Russia. With this came a lot of power and a lot of problems. Not only was he fighting wars with neighboring countries, but also the nobility who hated him. Over time he created intense tactics that would leave many to fear him. No one was safe from his rage and paranoia, not even his own heir. Join us as we cover Ivan's history, his impact on being the first Tzar, his legacy and much more.
