What impairment did Ivan V have?

  • Blindness

  • Paralysis

  • Deafness

  • Mental challenges

Answer

Ivan V suffered from mental challenges, specifically a condition known as imbecility, which severely impaired his cognitive abilities and rendered him unfit to rule. As such, he was relegated to a symbolic role as co-tsar alongside his competent half-brother, Peter the Great, who assumed the primary responsibilities of governing Russia.
