Ivan the Terrible
Ivan the Terrible
For four centuries the name Ivan the Terrible has conjured up the image of a vicious, cruel despot. This documentary investigates whether this is a purely Western view. In his own land, Russia's first tsar is remembered as a statesman who held the country together through difficult times - and perhaps was not so terrible after all
