Explanation:

Ivan the Terrible, or Ivan IV, the First Tsar of All Russia, had a complicated personality. Ivan 's tragic past, intelligent and prone to bursts of uncontrollable anger, led to his notorious conduct. Not much detail is known about his early life, and his successes as a leader are discussed by historians. It is widely accepted, however, that for centuries to come, his reign formed the present Russian territory and centralised government.

Ivan IV went into a deep depression following the death of his first wife in 1560, and his behaviour became more erratic. His assumption that the Boyars had killed her just deepened his anxiety. He suddenly left Moscow and threatened to abdicate the throne. Ivan the Great's grandson, Ivan the Terrible, was born Ivan Chetvyorty Vasilyevich to members of the Rurik dynasty on August 25, 1530, in the Grand Duchy of Muscovy, Russia. When he was 3 years old , his father, Basil III, died.

Ivan the Awful became obsessed with death in 1584, with his health failing, calling upon witches and soothsayers to sustain him, but to no avail. On March 18, 1584, when Ivan died from an apparent stroke, the end came. His unfit son, Feodor, whose rule spiralled Russia into the disastrous Time of Troubles, leading to the formation of the Romanov Dynasty, had desired the kingdom.

This is all from different websites. This is also written in my own words, so don’t worry about copy and paste. You may have to make the paragraph smaller. If you need help let me know. Good luck!
