write a short paragraph that identifies the Russian leader who came to power at the age of three and earned the nickname "the terrible". Describe three things for which he is remembered

pAragraph

Explanation:

Ivan the Terrible, or Ivan IV, the First Tsar of All Russia, had a complicated personality. Ivan 's tragic past, intelligent and prone to bursts of uncontrollable anger, led to his notorious conduct. Not much detail is known about his early life, and his successes as a leader are discussed by historians. It is widely accepted, however, that for centuries to come, his reign formed the present Russian territory and centralised government.

Ivan IV went into a deep depression following the death of his first wife in 1560, and his behaviour became more erratic. His assumption that the Boyars had killed her just deepened his anxiety. He suddenly left Moscow and threatened to abdicate the throne. Ivan the Great's grandson, Ivan the Terrible, was born Ivan Chetvyorty Vasilyevich to members of the Rurik dynasty on August 25, 1530, in the Grand Duchy of Muscovy, Russia. When he was 3 years old , his father, Basil III, died.

Ivan the Awful became obsessed with death in 1584, with his health failing, calling upon witches and soothsayers to sustain him, but to no avail. On March 18, 1584, when Ivan died from an apparent stroke, the end came. His unfit son, Feodor, whose rule spiralled Russia into the disastrous Time of Troubles, leading to the formation of the Romanov Dynasty, had desired the kingdom.

This is all from different websites. This is also written in my own words, so don’t worry about copy and paste. You may have to make the paragraph smaller. If you need help let me know. Good luck!

from thales, who is often considered the first western philosopher, to the stoics and skeptics, ancient greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the western intellectual tradition. here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. we find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the milesian thinkers, and we hear democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. with socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. with plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. plato’s student, aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. he wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. the hellenists—epicurus, the cynics, the stoics, and the skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation.

with this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of athens. after the fall of alexander the great, and because of aristotle’s ties with alexander and his court, aristotle escaped the same fate as socrates by fleeing athens. epicurus, like xenophanes, claimed that the mass of people is impious, since the people conceive of the gods as little more than superhumans, even though human characteristics cannot appropriately be ascribed to the gods. in short, not only did ancient greek philosophy pave the way for the western intellectual tradition, including modern science, but it also shook cultural foundations in its own time.
