Discuss The Changes And Continuities Of Ivan III

178 Words1 Page

Part A: Two continuities that Ivan III, Ivan the IV, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great used to consolidate their political power over Russia was the use to religion and military support to gain more power. Ivan III thought that the smart way to consolidate his power would be to organize a strong army which held an emphasis on military and to also tie in religion and nationalism to gather and gain support for his campaigns. This also can be shown how Peter the Great created a stronger and more organized military and also improved weaponry. Another continuity was through expansion which all these leaders did. When Ivan III gained control he chose to unify city states and make ongoing changes which showed how Russia was growing and changing.

Restrictions in Ivan’s Sudebnik and Peter’s Holy Synod made the Orthodox Church more subservient to the state. Ivan created prikazy to deal with specific areas of government, but, by Peter’s reign, the prikazy were ineffective, so Peter replaced them with Western-style colleges. Ivan also established the streltsy, a permanent military force, and the oprichnina, a secret police force, yet Peter expanded the Russian military and navy much more drastically.

    Also, Prussia was ravaged by the nomadic Tatars of the Crimea, which, in turn, gave Frederick the ability to increase his power. The Crimean attack proved to be beneficial for Frederick because it "softened up the estates and strengthened the urgency...for more military funding" (McKay). The slew of attacks that Prussia faced provided Frederick with the momentum he needed to create an absolute monarchy, as his goal of creating a strong military caused the estates to give him full control of the country. Similar events occurred in Russia, as the Great Northern War destroyed Russia, causing Peter the Great to use the military to make himself and Russia more powerful. Peter was determined to rebuild and improve the army, and he did so by creating new rules and laws to ensure the army's greatness.

  • Ivan's Suffering In The Brothers Karamazov

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    Ivan’s complaint is his inability to logically resolve the issue of spiritual injustice: even though Ivan believes in God, he fails to reconcile the universal suffering with the idea of all loving God. Ivan believes that God’s eternal happiness is not worth the suffering experienced on earth (in regards to children primarily). Since Ivan mainly relies on reason, in time he starts to feel psychologically disrupted when he cannot fully explain the mechanics of religion. It may seem that The Brothers Karamazov advances with Ivan’s complaints, yet it posits a belief in God based on faith rather than reason. It propagates one’s altruism rather than mere logic.
