The Murder of Ivan the Czar of Rasha

Ivan was, weirdly possibly, declaring himself a widow. He was taking the revenge he felt was owed him as a widow. Ivan wasn't otherwise acting like much of a mourning widower. In fact, he got married again almost immediately after Anastasia's death to a beautiful Chirchysian princess named Maria. From then on, Ivan gave his little son no dearth of stepmothers. His third wife, Marfa, died within days of their wedding. As Taylor Swift would later say, I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age.
