Episode overview

The title bestowed by history on Russia's first tsar has become synonymous with tyranny and mass bloodshed, his 16th-century reign characterised by conquest and cruelty. Yet many in Russia regard him as a national hero where he is known as the Grozny or 'awesome' tsar. Timewatch examines this man of contradictions and the contrasting reactions to his reign.
