Er, what is the question? If asking who he is, Ivan the Terrible (or Ivan IV) was born in 1530 and died in 1584. He was the grand duke of Muscovy over the span of 1533–47, and first tsar of Russia from 1547 1584

He is known as Ivan the Terrible because, in 1581, Ivan killed his eldest son (also named Ivan) in a fit of anger.
