Summary

Today, the term &quot;Terrible&quot; can refer to anything from a very lousy dinner to a catastrophic calamity that kills millions. When it was conferred on Russian tsar Ivan IV in the 16th century, it explicitly meant &apos;awe-inspiring,&apos; &apos;mighty,&apos; and &apos;formidable.&apos; However, if we look at the reign of one of the most paranoid, violent, and unpredictable individuals to control the country, then the current term of &apos;very awful&apos; isn&apos;t that far off the mark after all. So, what was it that made Ivan so Terrible?Notes: - 1- Ivan the Terrible by  Isabel de Madariaga https://www.amazon.com/Ivan-Terrible-Isabel-Madariaga/dp/03001197392- Fearful Majesty: The Life and Reign of Ivan the Terrible by Benson Bobrickhttps://www.amazon.com/Fearful-Majesty-Life-Reign-Terrible/dp/18801008433- Ivan the Terrible by Robert Payne https://www.amazon.com/Ivan-Terrible-Robert-Payne/dp/0815412290Insta: @convo_btweTwitter: convo_btweFacebook: A Conversation Before the World Ends Tiktok: convo_btwe
