Well his title is fitting
It really is a haunting painting. Also, what a douche.
# No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in.
# I am not in danger, Ivan.
# I am the danger!
Ivan the subpar father
since Ivan had snuffed out his cousin and his family, and Ivan’s surviving son Feodor I had no kids, the Rurikid family was ended in Russia
And his reason for beating the wife was because she was apparently “inappropriately dressed” (because she was pregnant and it was hot).
Fuck, he was truly terrible
I’m Terrible?
If you want to talk about a fucked up childhood in world leaders Ivan is up there
Ivan was a tyrant. This was his karma
