Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the story of the murder of Tsar Ivan the Terrible’s own son was invented by the Catholics in retaliation for his refusal to make Russia Catholic.
This was the Russian President said during his visit to the mining plant in the Belgorod region.
“Many researchers believe that he didn’t kill anyone at all, and made that the papal Nuncio, who came to him to negotiate and tried to convert Orthodox Russia to the Catholic Russia. And when Ivan turned him down and sent his famous address, there was a sort of legend, and more. He made Ivan the terrible, such superzhestoky people”, – said Putin.
He added that this “method of struggle with Russia” was used for a long time, and quoted the words of Emperor Alexander III: “of Our vast afraid of everything.”
Ivan IV Vasilyevich of the Rurik dynasty was known under the name Ivan the terrible. He was the first Tsar of all Russia (1547-1584). Famous for their barbaric and brutal methods of government.
