Ivan the Terrible in Russian Historical Memory since 1991
2021
Overview
Tsar Ivan the Terrible (Ivan IV, 1533-1584) is one of the most
controversial rulers in Russian history, infamous for his cruelty.
He was the first Russian ruler to use mass terror as a political
instrument, and the only Russian ruler to do so before Stalin.
Comparisons of Ivan to Stalin only exacerbated the politicization
of his image. Russians have never agreed on his role in Russian
history, but his reign is too important to ignore. Since the
abolition of censorship in 1991 professional historians and
amateurs have grappled with this problem. Some authors have
manipulated that image to serve political and cultural agendas.
This book explores Russia's contradictory historical memory of Ivan
in scholarly, pedagogical and political publications.
