Ivan IV Terrible
During his bad period, Ivan the Terrible had his secret police force hunt down his enemies and kill them.
Ivan the Terrible, the first Tsar of Russia, is often depicted with a stern expression, reflecting his volatile personality. He had a prominent beard and long hair, which were typical of Russian nobility at the time. His attire usually featured elaborate garments adorned with fur and jewels, signifying his status and power. Artistic representations often emphasize his intense gaze and commanding presence, capturing both his regal authority and tumultuous nature.
Ivan the Terrible faced several setbacks during his reign, including the death of his beloved wife, Anastasia, in 1560, which led to a period of paranoia and increased tyranny. His military campaigns, particularly against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Livonian War, were largely unsuccessful, draining resources and diminishing his reputation. Additionally, internal strife and the rise of the boyars challenged his authority, culminating in a violent period known as the Oprichnina, which alienated many of his subjects and led to widespread suffering.
