BBC Radio 4 - You're Dead to Me, Ivan the Terrible

Greg Jenner and guests explore the reputation of Ivan the Terrible.

Greg Jenner is joined by Professor Peter Frankopan and comedian Olga Koch to dive into the life and times (and crimes) of Russia's infamous first Tsar, Ivan the Terrible.

Was he really so terrible (hint: yes!), or is it all just a translation error (well, sort of)? Greg Jenner and his guests dive into the life, times, and crimes of Russia's first Tsar, the infamous Ivan the Terrible. 

From his bumpy youth, early successes, and multiple wives, to his oppressive policy of oprichnina and notorious reputation for cruelty, the panel discusses the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly when it comes to one of history's most feared rulers. 

Featuring Professor Peter Frankopan (University of Oxford) and Russian-born comedian Olga Koch, whose BBC appearances include OK Computer, Human Error, Fight, QI, and The Now Show.
