Why do all the kings and queens always have these sick sadistic tendencies to torture humans? That is NOT normal human behavior! I dont believe that it was all due to "sudden madness" I am certain there is something we dont know about the royal familyes, or maybe it's something that their purposely not telling us, I just cant put my finger on it...
@THE1PAINOF1THE1GAME One on one, Vlad will win since, Vlad's got more experience in hand to hand combat given by his dad. Skills similar to that of Genghis Kan, this Couch potato Ivan will stand no chance against this blood drunk warlord. Ivan would much rather bark orders and watch his minions kill people for his own pleasure than to fight his own opponents one on one. This is like comparing an athlete to a thinking couch potato.
Besides having a few paranoid despots running their country, throughout history Russia has had to endure invasions by the Cumans, Mongols, Swedes, Teutonic Knights, Tatars, Poles, Turks, and Germans, I think the Russian people have suffered enough.
@ejr23 Fine a lot of people have been killed in the name of God or religion or whatever, but it doesn't follow that the people who did this killing had a correct understanding of God or the religion they followed. I'm orthodox and I can tell you according to this show Ivan had a bad understanding of the Church. Even the bishop was begging him to stop. The misuse of religion certainly sucks, but not religion itself. But also, how many were killed in godlessness, by the Nazis, Communists, etc.
@boyakasha777 What political or historical figure DID have the proper understanding of religion. Look at Thomas Torquemada for example. How many innocents were violated under his paranoia of those who were true followers to Christianity. It got so bad that even the Pope in Rome was concerned over the atrocities. When I see these events, I'm glad that I don't follow religion too much.
@ejr23 probably not too many. I ascribe to the belief that in general only the wost people rise to the top of the political pyramid because they are ruthless enough to do it. Exceptions are rare. Which I guess really makes politics and power the thing to be avoided, as I see it. You're free to your belief. My point was just that "religion" can't be blamed for powerful people abusing it, just like "technology" shouldn't be blamed if politicians abuse it for Big Brother uses. Things can be abused.
@boyakasha777 I agree with your point, when reading the teachings and beliefs of jesus their is no link between them and the actions of a lot of people who claim to be committing attrocities in the name of god. They may be doing it in his name, but not in his teachings or beliefs.
This reminds me of what they are doing to the Palestinians. They intend to do this world wide Under their Zionist NWO. Most of the people who pose as Jews are in fact from Russia. These Mentally insane people is who people want to run the world under their ideas of NWO where the mentally insane inbread people run the world. We better wake up.
Seems like Stalin studied Ivan well and then replicated the terror.Every once in a while some terrible character emerges in Russia.There is a lot of pain and sadness in Russian history.But on the positive side some of the best writers were Russians.Truly fascinating and a great nation.A fusion or rather like a transition zone between the orient and the occident and a deep and mysterious land;Russia never ceases to amaze me
@DiscoverRussia two of the professors interviewed were russian.....if you believe it is so incomplete and one-sided, post one from a russian point of view
@DiscoverRussia I know right?It's ridiculous. After cold war instead of reaching out to Russia, they rubbed Russia's face in it. That's bullshit and only one example. Tea party (teabaggers) in America still act like the cold war is on. Dangerous idiots. A strong Russia is good for the world.
Catholic church killed and massacre moore people in Europe and America and founded so much wars and killings around the planet, way moore than black plague killed people in midlle ages !
hitler, stalin and ivan the terrible is a living example on why a nation must maintain a
strong militay and a democracy with a strong constitution to preserve its freedom and values! If the united state or britan had a weak military both countries would have been conquered by either russia, nazi germany, or even japan!
Some here still compare Ivan to Hitler and Stalin.
Idiots with the washed out brains!.
Eat this soup for the feeble-minded.
Under control of Ivan IV Russian territory has increased twice and has exceeded in the sizes the Western Europe. Livonic Order and the rests of Golden Horde it has been finished. The gain of Siberia has begun. Russian Kingdom was born. Since then you are afraid and hate Russia.
I am an American I and all my friends love Russia and the Russian People. Russia has elevated the arts on all frontiers. But saying Ivan was a nice man because he enlarged Russia is insane. How can you condone senseless torture and murder ? Imagine being there when he and his soldiers spent 5 weeks torturing and murdering innocent Russian townspeople ...He was insane in the way Hitler and Stalin were, maybe even more blood thirsty... Peace to my Russian friends and all people of this planet..
My American friend. Study at first history of your own country, and then do foolish comments on history of Russia. How many Indians (including women, old men, children) were killed by your fellow citizens for hundred years? (1800-1900). Answer me this question, and then we will talk that was in Russia 450 years ago.
@alpointru ..My Russian friend...why do you take my comments in a negitive way ? I am well aware of what Europeans did to all native people from Canada to South America.. You do remember that all white Americans came from Europe originally.. It's a sad thing, as you showed in your last post, that the ruling class throughout history,has killed and tortured it's own people..I guess it is the HUMAN thing to do !

"In russia we dont have the choice between dictatorship and freedom, but between dictatorship and chaos"-Professor Nikolai Borisov, Moscow State University
I know, isn't that terrible. I recently read a biography on Peter the Great, and now I am reading a biography of Ayn Rand, and it seems that Rusians seem to want oppresion. Even when there is oppurtunity for a free form of government, it always degenerates into dictatorship. Now, Putin is just another variant of every other bastard in the past.
yes...I agree...!!! So many retards are cowards and stand by and let it happen!!! I hope God didn't show mercy on this man, nor accept his last efforts to regain favour.....that man and so many others should rot in a slow burning hell, suffering every torture they inflicted on others.... This man makes Hitler look like child's play....
