 | | Ivan IV The development of the tsar's autocratic powers reached a peak during the reign of Ivan IV, and he became known as the Terrible (his Russian epithet, groznyy, means threatening or dreaded). | | | For his private domain, Ivan chose some of the most prosperous and important districts of Muscovy. | | | Ivan strengthened the position of the tsar to an unprecedented degree, demonstrating the risks of unbridled power in the hands of a mentally unstable individual. |

| | The Terrible Ivan |
| | Ivan IV is a sinister and arresting figure in the history of the Russian Middle Ages. | | | The grand prince, become a tsar at the coronation of Ivan the Terrible, was customarily the oldest surviving son of the late ruler. | | | The not-unexpected result of this curious maneuver was the prayerful request of the Muscovites to Ivan to reconsider his decision and to resume his duties on his own terms. |

| | As the head of a religious civilization, Ivan the Terrible had every aspect of domestic activity ritualized through semimonastic rules of conduct, preserved in a book called the Domostroi. | | | And God keeps silence when Ivan asked him ‘have I right to kill people for the great Russia?’ and because silence is the answer, Ivan is trying to kill the God,” explains film historian Naum Kleinman. | | | During his long rule (1533-1584), Ivan IV expanded the Russian lands and made Russian culture more religious than it had ever been. |

| | The annexation of Kazan was effected by his grandson Ivan IV (1552) ; that of Astrakhan followed (1554) ; Crimea was to pass under Ottoman sovereignty before it was finally won for Russia in the reign of Catharine II. | | | The predecessors of Ivan had made it their aim, as we have said, to lay hands upon the neighbouring Russian principalities; but they had largely strewn with the left hand what the right hand had gathered, by adopting the policy of assigning appanages to their sons. | | | The disgust of the great boiars at this election may be measured by the fact that they got up an agitation in favour of Simeon Bekbula-tovich, the Tartar whom Ivan IV had decked with the brief semblance of sovereignty. |

| | Though Ivan the Terrible II begins in black and white, it suddenly switches to color in two extended scenes, one where Russian dancers entertain Ivan during a festive, raucous banquet and in the film's concluding scene where Ivan again affirms his loyalty to a united Russia. | | | Cast: Nikolai Cherkasov (Tsar Ivan IV), Serafima Birman (Boyarina Efrosinia Staritskaya), Pavel Kadochnikov (Vladimir Andreyevich Staritsky), Mikhail A. Kuznetsov (Fyodor), Mikhail Zharov (Malyuta Skuratov), Andrei Abrikosov (Fyodor Kolychev/Philip the Metropolitan), Aleksand Mgebrov (Pimen the Bishop of Novgorod), Vladimir Balashov (Piotr Volynets). | | | Some criticized Ivan as more a Hamlet-style, doubt-plagued hero than a realistic historical figure, but questions of realism or accuracy aside, many agreed that Ivan II was nevertheless a moving and highly ambitious addition to the Eisenstein legend. |
