In which John Green teaches you how Russia evolved from a loose amalgamation of medieval principalities known as the Kievan Rus into the thriving democracy we know today. As you can imagine, there were a few bumps along the road. It turns out, our old friends the Mongols had quite a lot to do with unifying Russia. In yet another example of how surprisingly organized nomadic raiders can be, the Mongols brought the Kievan Rus together under a single leadership, and concentrated power in Moscow. This set the stage for the various Ivans (the Great and the Terrible) to throw off the yoke and form a pan-Russian nation ruled by an autocratic leader. More than 500 years later, we still have autocratic leadership in Russia. All this, plus a rundown of some of our favorite atrocities of Ivan the Terrible, and a visit from Putin!

It would be a bit of an overstatement to say that Ivan the Fourth ruled from 1533. He was born in 1530 and his mother was a regent at that time and she was the one who ruled the country. He started ruling independently only in 1547

So. We call Ivan IV the terrible. But at the same time, the Bartholomew night happened in France. And other massacres in many countries of Europe. Why does not nobody call the monarchs of Europe terrible?

4. 5 million views? I'm guessing every American history student is paying more attention to these videos rather than their teachers. probably a good thing
