It breaks away from older stereotypes of the tsar - whether as 'crazed tyrant' and 'evil genius', on the one hand, or as a 'great and wise statesman', on the other - to provide a more balanced picture. It examines the ways in which Ivan's policies contributed to the creation of Russia's distinctive system of unlimited monarchical rule.Ivan is best remembered for his reign of terror, the book pays due attention to the horrors of his executions, tortures and repressions, esProfiles in power (London, England)RussiaHistoryIvan IV, 1533-1584RussiaKings and rulersBiography947/.043/092947.043092Pavlov Andrei.1690604Perrie Maureen1946-1690605FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910807679403321Ivan the terrible4066388UNINA
