Answer:

Ivan the Terrible truly lived up to his title. Three things he is remembered for are: He was the first czar. When he became the ruler of Russia, he took the title czar from the word “Caesar”. He proclaimed that Russia was the new Rome. He was known as the champion for the poor and powerless. Although he was cruel, insane, and most likely a sociopath, he was the hero of disenfranchised Russians, because he scaled back the power and abuses of nobility, ironically. He was known for being a devout Christian. Need said again, he was probably a sociopath; but for some reason, he called himself Christian. Although he ordered reforms that would Christianize Russia, I, personally, think that this is one of the most irritating and ironic things ever.
