1. Ivan's father and mother had died when he was at a very young age. During his childhood, Ivan saw violence as nobles fought for power. He also saw people being unfairly arrested, exiled, or executed. This way, he distrusted everyone who was with him. This was how he grew up as a troubled, angry child with no trust in others.

2. Ivan IV was crowned Holy Czar, Monarch of All the Russians when he was not yet seventeen years old. He was an angry and troubled person who did not trust others. However, after marrying Czarina Anastasia Romanovna, he ruled Russia under her calming influence. He expanded the country to the east, including Siberia and to the south and west by having wars with neighbors. He built St. Basil's cathedral in Moscow to celebrate this victory with an architect from Italy, who was eventually blinded to make sure he never builds another cathedral as splendid as St. Basil's. This is one example of Ivan's terrible behavior. Ivan distrusted and persecuted boyars. After the czarina died out of illness, Ivan turned mad from his sorrow and his temper grew worse. He then started to order more persecutions. After his death in 1584, Russia was an empire of chaos with suffering people. The time after Ivan's death was known as the Time of Troubles.

1. Ivan the Terrible was short tempered and violent. Once, he even killed his son in a fit of rage! This was because his childhood was filled with losses and violence. When he was three, his father died, and when he was eight, his mother passed away too. All the boyars fought for control over the new Russian prince, and he grew up watching people unfairly arrested and even killed. This is also why, when he was Czar, he distrusted boyars so much and even made up reasons to ge them executed.
2. Ivan was a terrifying ruler, and would execute anyone who was actine suspicious. When he married Anastasia, she saved many lives from her calming influence on Ivan.
