Ivan IV Vasilyevich was the first Grand Prince of Moscow to be officially crowned Tsar of All Russia. During his lengthy reign, he significantly expanded Russian territory, centralized state power, and implemented reforms like the creation of the Streltsy and the Sudebnik of 1550. His later years were characterized by the Oprichnina and periods of intense violence and paranoia, which contributed to his posthumous designation. |
