| THE FIRST STATE-LIKE FORMATIONS, IN THE PRESENT-DAY TERRITORY OF RUSSIA, EMERGED AROUND NOVGOROD AND KIEV IN THE 9TH CENTURY. RUSSIA WAS THEN DOMINATED BY VIKINGS. AFTER 250 YEARS OF MONGOL SUPREMACY, FROM THE 13TH CENTURY, MOSCOW BECAME THE MOST IMPORTANT POWER BASE IN RUSSIA. IT WAS FROM MOSCOW THAT IVAN THE GREAT RULED WITH A FIRM HAND. | IN THE 16TH CENTURY, IVAN IV (IVAN THE TERRIBLE) CONQUERED VAST TERRITORIES, AND USED EXTENSIVE TERROR METHODS AGAINST HIS PEOPLE.
