ok he is gentle at first but turns into a tryant, hm that stuff usually happens when a character is under stress, you have to show the relationship between Ivan and his father and even mother, like for instance father wants son to be just like him, but due to the father being domineering he puts pressure on him, mother is there but is unsympathic or tires to be helpful but isn't, this leads the young Ivan to seek comfort in the only person who does not have a political motive who isn't tempted by the entrapments of privilage and power, the Kikimora, the only person in the world that was true in his world of yes men and schemers.

I say an assiaination combined with the stress of the throne cause him to change.
