Ivan the first Tsar of Russia is sometimes thought of as a madman, a psychopath whose paranoia leads to some horrible acts being brought upon those he declared to be enemies. Although in the early years of Ivan IV's reign, he could be better described as, Ivan the soon-to-be but not at the moment, terrible. In part one of our two-part episode on Ivan the Terrible, we will cover the years from his birth to the beginning of the Oprichnina.
It was decided during the recording to make this into a two-parter in the hopes of making better content. The Macabrepedia team is currently making some life adjustments due to a couple of medical diagnoses that we didn't want to have. Please continue to check back with us as we get through this time. The plan as of now is to continue life as close to normal as possible.

But when you look at the story as a whole, what is actually true, and what is the result of yellow journalism? Join us as we add another entry into this, our Macabrepedia.
