Ivan "the terrible" was terrible to the western "elite" and Jewish
bankers running and profiting from the Slavic slave trade raids into
Russia, taking 100s of 1000s of Slavs and selling them all over "the
world".
Bankers of yore, bankers of today. Russian slavic "near animals" of
Ivan's time, "it's the Russians!" of today.

Ivan the 'Terrible' Wasn't Terrible at All - an Oligarch-Busting,
Virtuous Hero, Demonized by the West

This had to be done also with harsh winters, poor soil, difficult
travel and internal divisions often goaded by foreigners. This is
the source of the Muscovite policy of centralization and
service-estate monarchy. It is the historical condition for the
Russian mind and defined the Russian national character.4
The literature in English usually decries the “lust for power” of
the tsars and the “massacre” of helpless Muslims and defenders of
Kazan under Ivan IV. The official narrative is uncomfortable with
the fact that Russia barely escaped total genocide at this time, and
only by the total mobilization of every possible man to create a war
machine capable of defending its own borders was Russia ever
preserved at all. In the best of times this was a risky gamble. At
the worst of times, millions of Russians were exterminated, enslaved
and exploited.
