No elephant stamp for you

Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584)
This is one of the most poorly written internet articles I've read in some time. It looks like the work of a primary school student. The grammar makes no sense at all, not to mention the sloppy research. I never knew that Ivan the Terrible was the Grand Prince of Moscow in the 1950s.

That would have come as a surprise to Joseph Stalin, or Nikita Khruschev, or any of the surviving revolutionaries who forced the Romanov dynasty from power in the 1917 revolution. One would hope that any student would know better than to use this site as a reference for academic work.
