Answer

Ivan V ascended to the position of Tsar at the tender age of 16, inheriting the throne alongside his older half-brother Peter the Great as co-rulers in 1682. However, Ivan suffered from poor health and developmental issues, hindering his active participation in ruling. This circumstance ultimately paved the way for Peter the Great to emerge as the sole ruler of Russia.
