Whenever I read about what Ivan the Terrible did to earn his title, it pales in comparison to what Putin is doing today. Ivan the Terrible created autocracy, killed thousands of people, had secret police, murdered women and children. Putin has done all that plus genocide, added modern cruelties such as thermobaric weapons and taken inspiration from his African warlords by using rape as a weapon.
What do you think Putin will be referred to in history books after all this? Would terrible be enough to describe the cruelty?
