Ivan the Terrible (Russia's First Tsar)
from A Conversation Before The World Ends
Today, the term Terrible 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 awe-inspiring, mighty, and formidable. 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 very awful isnt 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
