Today's Asshole: Ivan The Terrible
In 1547, Ivan The Terrible was crowned the first czar of Russia.
His name is infamous for his ruthlessness as a ruler.
Among his misdeeds:
Gouged out the eyes of the architects who built the St. Basil cathedral so nothing similar could be built.
Beat his pregnant daughter-in-law and caused her miscarriage.
An argument with his son resulted in his son's death.
By the time he died in 1584, Russia was in economic and political turmoil.
