22. Ivan the Terrible
Ivan the Terrible definitely deserved his nickname, since he was a merciless, brutal and cruel Tsar of Russia from 1533 to 1584. It has been claimed that Ivan was in charge of destroying hundreds of villages, towns, and cities, and the Novgorod Massacre was one of his most famous evil deeds, where 60,000 were tortured to death, even up to 15 hours in his personal torture chamber.
