The most famous of all Muscovites was Ivan IV, known as Ivan the Terrible. During his long rule (1533-1584), Ivan IV expanded the Russian lands and made Russian culture more religious than it had ever been. He eliminated rival centers of power like the democratic city of Novgorod in the North and dealt a decisive blow to the Mongols in his victory at Kazan in 1552.

The Terrible Ivan - English
URL: http://mars.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/russia/lectures/09ivanIV.html

The whole Muscovite outlook on life was quite remote from this new Western Europe, despite certain superficial similarities between Ivan IV and Francis I of France. Ivan faced the same problems with his nobility that Western rulers confronted. But there was no ideological system in Russia and the social life seemed lifeless and immoveable. The feudal lords, the smaller territorial princes, and their heirs had to be overthrown. For the sake of national unity it had to be done by whatever means might be necessary - in England, France or Russia.
