>>> And what Ivan the Terrible did...

What did he “create”?
During his reign in Russia he did the following:
The court of the jury;
Free primary education (church schools)
Medical quarantine at the border.
- local elective self-government instead of the voivod;
For the first time a regular army appeared (and the first military form in the world - in the shooters);
The Tatar attacks were stopped.
- equality was established between all layers of the population (you know that serfdom at the time in Russia did not exist at all? The peasant was obliged to sit on the ground until he paid the rent – and nothing more. And his children were considered free from birth anyway!) ;
slave labor is prohibited;
- the state monopoly on the trade in flour, introduced by Grozny, was abolished only a few years ago;
The territory of the country is increased by 30 times.
The emigration of the population from Europe exceeded 30,000 families (those who settled along the Crescent Line were paid a raise of 5 rubles per family. The expenditure books are preserved.
The growth of the well-being of the population (and the taxes paid) during the reign amounted to several thousand (!) the percentages;
During the entire reign there was no one executed without trial and investigation, the total number of "repressed" ranged from three to four thousand.

Someone would be good at taking an example.
