Ivan the Fool
Ivan the Fool or Ivan the Ninny is a stock character of lucky fool who appears in Russian folklore, a very simple- minded, but, nevertheless, lucky young man.
Ivan is described as a likeable fair- haired and blue- eyed youth.
The approximate setting of Ivan The Fool's adventures is the 15th or 16th century Russia.
When he appears in stories, Ivan The Fool is usually portrayed as either a peasant or the son of a poor family.
He is usually the youngest of three brothers, and although they appear to be much smarter than he, they are sometimes unkind to and envious of him.
Unlike typical heroes, it is Ivan's simplicity and lack of guile that turn out to help him in his adventures.
For example, he listens to his heart, rather than his mind, and he easily forgets offence and endeavors to help others even at his own expense.
His naivety, kindness, and daring help him fight villains, make friends, win princesses' hearts, and ultimately he is rewarded with half a kingdom or some similar accomplishment.
The moral of these stories is that Ivan The Fool is rarely the fool, he is merely perceived as such by others owing to his simple nature and joviality.
According to one theory, Ivan the Fool as he was originally created was not intended to be a fool at all.
At that time the Russian word “ дурак ”( fool) did not have any negative connotation, and was used to refer to the youngest son in the family.
It was only later that it obtained a new meaning, from which the ambiguity arose.
It is inevitably the case that he is a positive character in all tales that he is mentioned in.

Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan
Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581 is a painting by Russian realist artist Ilya Repin made between 1883 and 1885.
The picture portrays a grief- stricken Ivan the Terrible cradling his mortally wounded son, the Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich.
The elder Ivan himself is believed to have dealt the fatal blow to his son.
The work is variously referred to as" Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan", with or without the date, or" Ivan the Terrible Killing His Son".
Repin's painting has been called one of Russia's most famous paintings, and is also one of its most controversial.
It has been vandalised twice, in 1913 and again in 2018.
The artist used Grigoriy Myasoyedov, his friend and fellow artist, as the model for Ivan the Terrible, with writer Vsevolod Garshin modelling for the Tsarevich.
In 1885, upon completion of the oil on canvas work, Repin sold it to Pavel Tretyakov, for display in his gallery.
It remains on display in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
