After Constantinople had fallen because of The Ottoman Empire, Moscow was called "The Third ROME" Thanks To Ivan The Great who had refused to continue to pay tribute to the Mongols, Russia became free. He had established Absolute Rule, and had continued to expand eastward. They began their acts of asking peasants, who were then known as Cossacks to come live on their land for free, but this came to a cost. These Cossacks had to conquer the land themselves

Ivan The Terrible was ruthless leader. During his reign he had continued to expand the territories to Siberia and to the Caspian Sea. He was also a suspicious leader. He had always believed that many people were after his throne. So, he executing all of them, including his own son. After he had died, the Romanov family had taken over from 1613 to 1917.

After Constantinople fell because of the Ottoman Empire, Moscow was now called the "Third Rome." In 1480, Ivan the third refused to pay tribute to the Mongols and declared Russia free of Mongol rule. He established absolute rule in Russia and offered peasants freedom in Russia if they agreed to settle in new lands to the east. The peasants had to conquer the land themselves (they were called Cossacks), they expanded Russian territories in the 16 - 18 century.

Ivan the Terrible was a strong leader and held absolute power. He took on the title of czar of Russia. By the 1560s he ruled under a reign of terror, executing anyone who was a threat to his own power. After his death Russia went through the Times of Troubles. It wasn't until 1613 that Michael Romanov was elected czar that Russia would be stable.

Ivan III became the leader of Russia and refused to pay tribue to the Mongols. By doing this he managed to free Russia from Mongol rule. He began to expand Russia east and offered peasants freedom if they agreed to settle into new lands. Ivan the Terrible ruled after him. He was the first Russian to call himself czar and was a ruthless leader. He set up a secret police and was very paranoid. He executed many people during his time as czar and even killed his own son. After his death, Mikhail Romonav became the new czar. The Romanov Dynasty lasted until 1917.

Because of the Ottoman empire, Constantinople had fallen. Moscow beacem known as "The Third Rome". this was all because of Iavn The Great or Ivan III who got rid of the Mongols by refusing to pay tribute. Under him Russia was free of Mongol ruling. Ivan established abslute rule and expanded eastward. He began asking peasants to become Cossacks or peasant soilders whom expanded russin territories in the 16th - 18th centuries. Unfortunitly the cossacks had to conquire their own land.
Ivan IV was quite a different leader. He was a very strong leader and he held such absolute power. He bacme known as Ivan the Terrible. He took upon the title of czar and expanded Russia land without any cost to the people of Russia. But as successful as some of his tactics were, he truly was "terrible". By the 1560s he ruled under a reign of terror. he executed whomever he wanted however and whenever he wnated. He was somewhat paranoid in the way that he felt that everyone wnated his power. This led to the murderings of many innocent people including the deaths of his sons whom he killed to prevent somewhat of a mutiny.
THE MAN WAS INSANE.

Ivan III, or Ivan the Great was the czar of Russia. He wanted to overthrow the Mongols who had invaded Russia. Refusing to pay tribute, he declared Russia free of Mongolian rule. He established absolute rule in Russia. Cossacks expanded Russian territory eastward.
Son of Ivan III, Ivan the Terrible was a strong leader who expanded Russia's holding. His people feared him, for he was psychotic. He killed his own son because he didn't want him taking away his power as ruler.

When Ivan III of Moscow came to power, he ended all the Mongolian influence on Russia, by stopping paying a tribute. Both he and later his grandson, Ivan IV (Ivan The Terrible), made an absoulte rule in Russia. Both men freed peasants from their landlords, if they settled in new lands to the east. These peasants started to be called Cossacks.

When Ivan the Terrible came to rule Russia, he expanded most of Russia's holding. He was a cruel czar, by ruling Russia with reign of terror. He killed anyone who he taught would cause threat to his power, even his own son. After teh death of Ivan the Terrible, Russia was in Time of Troubles because many people competed for power. It wasn't until when Michael Romanov was elected as a new czar, and the Romanov Dynasty came to power in Russia.

After the Ottoman Empire had conquered Constantinople, the center of Orthodox Christianity shifted to Moscow, Russia- also called "The Third Rome". In 1408, Ivan III refused to pay tribute to the Mongols and freed Russia of their rule. He set up an absolute monarchy. He used peasants known as Cossacks to expand Russian territory. These peasants were promised land if they could conquer it themselves. Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible continued to rule absolutely. He became czar and expanded Russia. He ruled with terror, executing people he felt were a threat. After Ivan IV's death, Russia fell into the Times of Troubles, 1604-1613. It wasn't until Michael Romanov was elected czar in 1613 that stability returned to the empire. This started the Romanov dynasty which ruled until 1917. The Romanovs expanded the empire and by 1689 Russia spread form the Ukraine to the north of Manchuria.

after the Byzantine Empire fell, Moscow in Russia was known as the Third Rome and russian leaders conquered the Mongols out. in 1480, Ivan III refused to pay tribute to Mongols and declared Russia free. later, Ivan IV led absolute monarch rule and recruited Cossacks to conquer land in order to keep it themselves and settle. Russia was expended then into the Caspian sea and Siberia. Ivan IV became known as Ivan the Terrible because he was very harsh and ruled by terror by executing many who opposed his rule. after Ivans death, the "tie of Troubles" came as lords battled for the rule of the empire. The Romanov family was the next in line to rule until 1917.

When the Byzantine Empire fell and the Turks conquered Constantinople the center of Orthodox Christianity moved northward to Moscow whcih is known as the "Third Rome". While this was happening Russian leaders such as Ivan III were overthrowing the Mongols. In 1480, Ivan III or also known as Ivan the Great refused to pay tribute to the Mongols and he made Russia independent from Mongol rule. Both he and his grandson Ivan Iv or also known as Ivan the Terrible established absolute rule in Russia by expanding and uniting it. They recruited peasants and would be given freedom from land if they conquered other lands which from then on they became known as the Cossacks.
Ivan IV or Ivan the Terrible was a strong and ruthless leader who held absolute power, making Russia into an absolute monarchy. Ivan IV expanded Russia. He ruled by imposing terror and anyone whom he thought was a treat and going for his power would be executed. Ivan IV reign ended in 1584 when he died. His death caused Russia's feudal lords to battle for who whould rule next. This situation made Russia fall into the Times of Troubles which was between 1604 to1613. This finally ended when Michael Romanov was elected czar in 1613.

After Constantinople fell, Moscow was called "The Third Rome". In 1480, Ivan III (also known as Ivan the Great) refused to pay the Mongols tribute, therefore declaring Russia free of Mongol rule. He also established an absolute rule in Russia, and was also able to expand it eastward. Under his rule, Ivan III offered peasants freedom if they agreed to settle into new lands, but only if they were able to get this land themselves.

Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) was a ruthless and formidable leader. He took on the title of czar, and expanded Russia's holding. However, he was also a very paranoid leader, and always suspected that his people were after his throne. So, he began to execute anyone he believed was trying to overthrow him, including his son.

ivan the great played an important role in russian history. he freed russia from the mongols, after over 250 years of 'captivity'. he, and later his grandson ivan the terrible, held power over russia, expanding its power. they 'recruited' peasants, known as cossacks, to take land from richer nobles, in exchange for their freedom.
after these two czars, Romonov took over, and the romonov dynasty lasted until 1917.
