Ivan III Vasilyevich (1440-1505), also known as Ivan the Great, was a Grand Prince of Moscow and Grand Prince of all Rus' (Velikij kňaz’ vseja Rusi). Sometimes referred to as the "gatherer of the Rus' lands", he tripled the territory of his state, ended the dominance of the Golden Horde over the Rus', renovated the Moscow Kremlin, and laid the foundations of what later became called the Russian state. He was one of the longest-reigning Russian rulers in history.
