Norman Davies Quotes
He Might Be Better Considered As An Exponent Of Tartar Financial, Military, And Political Methods, Who Used The Shifting Alliances Of Khans And Princes To Replace The Tartar Yoke With A Muscovite One. In His Struggle With The Golden Horde, Whose Hegemony He Definitively Rejected After 1480, His Closest Ally Was The Khan Of The Crimea, Who Helped Him To Attack The Autonomy Of His Fellow Christian Principalities To A Degree That The Tartars Had Never Attempted. From The Muscovite Point Of View, Which Later Enjoyed A Monopoly, 'Ivan The Great' Was The Restorer Of 'Russian' Hegemony. From The Viewpoint Of The Novgorodians Or The Pskovians He Was The Antichrist, The Destroyer Of Russia's Best Traditions. When He Came To Write His Will, He Described Himself, As His Father Had Done, As 'the Much-sinning Slave Of God'.
