A map illustrating the rise and expansion of the Tsardom of Russia under the rule of Ivan IV Vasilyevich (commonly known as The Terrible, from the Russian “grozny“(грозный), Fearsome or Awe-inspiring). Originally a Grand Prince of Moscow, Ivan IV became the first to be crowned and rule as the Tsar of all Russia (from the Latin Caesar), previously a conglomerate of dutchies. He laid the foundation of absolute rule, engaged in a reign of terror against the nobility, reformed the government, opened diplomatic relations with England, wrote music, oversaw cultural and religious renaissance, and aggressively expanded the Russian borders through war and conquest. Shortly after his death (in 1584), Russia entered decades of instability known as The Troubles (Смута) that ended his Rurik dynasty and opened the way for the Romanovs.

Please excuse me if this post is unorganized I am venting. I was walking from work today and some old fuck told to me (a hijabi) that "I bet you support those Hamas terrorists." At first it didn't register to me as I was completely off guard and was daydreaming but by the time I realized he quickly walked away. Honestly I felt like I should said something but I just wasn't expecting as I have seen this man multiple times and he has never spoken to me. I really feel like I am making a big deal out of it but it is really bothering me to the point of sleeplessness. I really hate living in a small city in Canada.![kkkanada kkkanada](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/478c2b58-b7bd-4c22-9f22-df7c3ea55a98.png)
You should have told him that you are hamas. Their fear is your energy. When we flip the table we will treat these people worse than they treat us.
