A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' - in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of anti-Russian bias? No, because 'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable - this was well understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here:
www.dictionary.com/browse/terr...). The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.

Sorry for my English. I am from Russia, Siberia, I live near Lake Baikal. I like to watch videos about foreigners in Russia, their opinions, stories, reactions, and so on. We very often hear that the West and America do not like history, but more and more often I began to come across such foreign channels where they show and tell our story. And there are a lot of views on such channels and what else pleases, reading the comments, it is clear that you are very interested in it. Thank you to all of you, the authors of the channel, the authors of the comments, to all those who just watched these and other videos about Russia... It's a scary time right now, and I'm really pleased to know that so many people in the world want to know history.
