A note on 'Ivan the Terrible' in Russia, Ivan IV has the epithet 'Гро́зный' meaning 'Great' or 'Formidable'. So why is he known as Ivan 'the Terrible' in English? Because he was evil or useless or because of antiRussian bias? No, because 'Terrible' in English also means awesome or formidable this was well understood when 'Гро́зный' was first translated into English centuries ago, but now fewer people understand this. (see definitions 3 & 4 here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/terr.... The name stuck, and Ivan IV has been known as Ivan the Terrible ever since.
