"Ivan the Terrible: A Complex Legacy of Power and Brutality" Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, was a formidable ruler who left an indelible mark on Russian history. His reign was characterized by both significant achievements and ruthless acts that earned him his infamous moniker. One of Ivan's notable contributions was the establishment of The Code of Law (Sudebnik) in 1550. This comprehensive legal system aimed to bring order and justice to his realm, ensuring fair treatment for all citizens under his rule. However, Ivan's legacy is also marred by instances of extreme brutality. The Russian atrocities committed in Livonia in 1578 were documented by Johann Jakob Wicks' Sammlung von Nachrichten, depicting the horrors inflicted upon innocent people during this dark period. Similar accounts emerged from July and August 1577 when Livonia witnessed further Russian atrocities. Artists like Hans Wengel captured Ivan's enigmatic persona through their works such as "The Czar Ivan the Terrible" in 1903. These portraits reveal a complex figure whose actions ranged from strategic conquests to merciless executions. Ivan IV's lineage can be traced back to Rurik, Igor of Kiev, Olga, Sviatoslav, and Vladimir the Great - prominent figures who shaped Russia's early history. Luigi Giarre's depiction in "Portraits of the Russian Monarchy" showcases Ivan IV alongside these influential predecessors. Grigori Sedov immortalized one particularly tragic event with his painting "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on November 16th, 1581. " This heart-wrenching image captures a grief-stricken father holding his dying son after accidentally striking him during a fit of rage—a haunting testament to both power and tragedy intertwined within this ruler. Another pivotal moment occurred when Tsar Ivan IV conquered Kazan in 1552—an event immortalized in an oil painting from the 1800s.
