Template:Short description Template:Infobox royalty Anna Vasilchikova (Анна Васильчикова) was Tsaritsa of the Tsardom of Russia and was the fifth spouse of Ivan the Terrible (Иван Грозный).[1]
Very little is known of her background. She married Ivan in January 1575 without the blessing of the Ecclesiastical Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.[1] She was repudiated by her husband and made a nun in a monastery.[2] The date of her death is uncertain, having been variously described as occurring in 1576–77.[3]
