		The late 15th century and early 16th century marked the height of the Jagiellonian dynasty.
		Unfortunately, the Jagiellonians failed to elaborate a coherent political rationale for organizing the lands between Russia and Germany into a loose federation, in order to prevent their falling under the domain of one of these powers.
		Perhaps the worst, was Ivan the Terrible, who embarked on an action of "gathering of the Russian lands." His plan spelled doom for the sprawling Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian complex which lay in his path and down through the centuries, warfare between Russia and Poland-Lithuania continued with unrelenting brutality.
