@Lestat13TheVampire It means both, actually.

@4857ivan no seas terribleªª

Are there any modern day historical figures that relate to him some how?

@screwriod Smart human would just check how big was the territory of Russia before and after Ivan the Terrible. As for cruelty, it was exactly the time when half of English peasants were 'eaten by sheep', in France was Bartholomeus Night, in Spain ruled the guy Savanarola, that burned about 1 mln of 'witches', and in Germany was 30 years war, ask any German what that meant. It was Ivan's wish to be called "terrible", otherwise European kings would call him Ivan the Mild.

@blokdeblok I do, I never said it wasn't

@JozefKPilsudski I hope you also know that Poland was an enemy of Ivan.

A little known fact is that Ivan The Terrible's mother was Polish, making Ivan half Polish.
My name is Ivan :)

Ohhh, sorry; then it is ok to stab your son and literally fry people. My mistake. I thought that was wrong; but now that you clarified that he was smart, it's all good. I hope you don't bump into a smart man any soon... well, actually, I do.
Greetings!
