Know as the first Tsar of all Rus, Ivan added the Ta(r)tar khanates of Kazan & Astrakhan to his realm, turning it into an empire. However, the subsequent Livonian War was a disaster, the Ta(r)tar knanate of Crimea nearly succesfully raided his capital. During his reign, the conquest of the Ta(r)tar khanate of Sibir started. The New Chronology tells a similar story:
- The conquest of Kazan = The suppression of the Khazars
- The war in Livonia = The reformation in Europe
- The conquest of Sibir = The suppression of the Mexicans
Khan Kuchum ruled east of the Ural Mountains. Sounds can have different consonants, for example 'CH' = 'X' & 'K' = 'C': Reversing the consonants & switching the vowels might lead to 'Mexic(o)', whose reverse is '(O)cixem', or Shechem: Can we also associate it with 'Meshech', its near reverse, together with 'Tubal', refering to Tobolsk, the lands where Magog ruled, whereas 'Rosh' refers to Russia?

The Oprichnina was a first answer to an attempt to gain power by the Romanovs, which they might have covered up later. What else happened to our real history?
