  33. Ivan iv- notables • Even though Ivan IV had many accomplishments during his good period, he was better remembered for his bad period. • Ivan is also strongly remembered for killing his son when they were having a heated argument. Ivan used to always carry around a pointed staff, and in the midst of their argument, he punctured his son’s head with the staff.

  34. Ivan iv- borders • Baltic Sea to the West • Siberia to the East • Mongolia to the South • Ural Mountains to the North

  35. Ivan iv- decline • Ordered the murder of St. Philip of Moscow in 156.9 • Pillaged and destroyed the city of Great Novgorod and murdered hundreds of its citizens in 1570. • Wanted to abdicate when he accidentally killed his eldest son Ivan. • Finally lost the battle for Livonia in 1582, where troops had battled since 1560. • Lost the Baltic Seaboard during his reign and it was not regained for 150 years.

  36. Ivan iv- legacies • Destroyed the Mongols on the Volga River • Commissioned the building of St. Basil’s Cathedral to celebrate his defeat of the Mongols. • Organized a code of laws in 1550. • Expanded Russian land to the east and southeast and was first Russian czar to attack the Crimea. • Sent envoys to explore and colonize Siberia

  37. Current event Syrian troops ‘attack Damascus suburbs’ • Summary: The article I chose was about the Syrian troops opening fire on their own citizens. Most occurrences were happened after the UNSMIS left (UN Supervision Mission in Syria). At least 430 people were killed Theme Peace and Security- because it involves terrorism when the troops opened fire on people from their own country

  38. Current event Relation to class • Ivan IV organized the oprichniki, who were ordered to kill traitors, boyars, or anybody suspicious. Ivan IV is like the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, because they are both basically turning against their own country and throwing it into ruins. Reaction • I was very appalled when I discovered this article because I thought it was extremely odd how troops, people who are supposed to save citizens, were instead turning against and killing them.
