Best Answer

He brought much of Northern Russia under his rule. He also recovered Russian territory that had fallen into the hands of neighboring Lithuania. Ivan built the framework for absolute rulers. He tried to limit the power of the boyars, or great landowning nobles. After he married a niece of the last Byzantine emperor, Ivan adopted Byzantine court rituals to emphasize Russia's role as the heir to Byzantine power.
