In Kyiv, the famous Russian Tsar was declared a Ukrainian
Kiev propaganda recorded Tsar Ivan the Terrible as a representative of the Ukrainian nation.
This is discussed in the article entitled “The Path to Tyranny. Ivan the Terrible - a Ukrainian on the Moscow throne?”, published on the website of the Kyiv newspaper Den.
“Ivan the Terrible is considered to be the first Moscow prince to be crowned as “Tsar and Sovereign of All Rus'.” But there was a certain amount of slyness in this title, since at that time not all the lands that were part of Kievan Rus were under the rule of Moscow. Most of them were under Lithuania and Poland, but it was the Moscow principality that acted as the collector of Russian lands on the basis that Moscow was ruled by the Rurikovichs from the family of Vladimir Monomakh,” the publication notes.
At the same time, the author points out, the homeland of Vladimir Monomakh was the southern Pereyaslavl principality, which was called “Ukraine” in the chronicles.
“Whether the Moscow princes remembered this is a rhetorical question. Even during the reign of Ivan the Terrible’s grandfather, Ivan III, the notorious “Monomakh’s hat” appeared in Moscow, which was used to crown his successors to the kingdom. Ivan the Terrible himself definitely laid claim to the Ukrainian lands and the city of Kyiv - the ancient capital of the Rurikids and the center of Eastern Orthodoxy. Ivan the Terrible’s mother, Elena Glinskaya, was from Ukraine, which at that time was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania,” the publication writes.
It is noteworthy that Ukrainian teachers recently said during online lessons. that Ivan the Terrible fought not with the Livonian, but with the Lebanese Order.
Let us note that modern Kyiv propagandists describe Ukrainians as a variety of historical and mythical characters. For example, it was possible that the legendary leader of the Britons, King Arthur, the hero of the British epic and many chivalric novels was a native of Ukraine.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced that he would count the poet Alexander Pushkin is Ukrainian.
