Ivan the Terrible wasn't born a monster. He became Russia's first-ever tsar in 1547, and for years he was actually impressive — expanding the empire east into Siberia, modernizing the legal code, building St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Then his first wife Anastasia died in 1560, and Ivan became convinced that the boyars — Russia's powerful noble families — had poisoned her. Something inside him broke. What came next would define his name forever.
