Vasili II Vasiliyevich Tyomniy (Blind) (Василий II Васильевич Тёмный in Russian) (March 10, 1415 – March 27, 1462) was the Grand Prince of Moscow whose long reign (1425-1462) was plagued by the greatest civil war of medieval Russian history.

  Vasili III of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasili III Ivanovich (Russian: Василий III Иванович, also Basil) (March 25, 1479 – December 3, 1533) was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1505 to 1533.
Vasili annexed the last surviving autonomous provinces: Pskov in 1510, appanage of Volokolamsk in 1513, principalities of Ryazan in 1521 and Novgorod-Seversky in 1522.
Vasili also took advantage of the difficult position of Sigismund of Poland to capture Smolensk, the great eastern fortress of Poland (1512), chiefly through the aid of the rebel Lithuanian, Prince Mikhail Hlinski, who provided him with artillery and engineers.

 Vasili I of Russia - Definition, explanation
Vasili I Dmitriyevich (Василий I Дмитриевич in Russian) (1371 — February, 1425), Grand Prince of Moscow since 1389, oldest son of Dmitri Donskoi and Grand Princess Eudoxia (Yevdokiya in Russian) - daughter of the Grand Prince of Suzdal Dmitry Konstantinovich.
Vasili I continued the process of unification of the Russian lands: in 1392, he annexed the principalities of Nizhny Novgorod and Murom; in 1397-1398 - Bezhetsky Verkh, Vologda, Veliki Ustyug and Komi people's lands.
To prevent Russia from being attacked by the Golden Horde, Vasili I entered into alliance with Lithuania in 1392, which turned out to be fragile, since Prince Vytautas (Vitovt) would later capture Vyazma and Smolensk in 1403—1404.

Vasili Andreevich was excited by the vodka he had drunk with his visitors, and so he was even more pleased than usual with everything that was his and all that he did.
Vasili Andreevich shook his head disapprovingly at what Nikita was doing, as in general he disapproved of the peasant's stupidity and lack of education, and he began to settle himself down for the night.
Vasili Andreevich jumped off, and in so doing dragged to one side the breechband on which his foot was resting, and twisted round the pad to which he held as he dismounted.

My companion, Sully--a fool for Vasili's lemon-and-pepper- encrusted roast potatoes ($2.95)--went on an a la carte rampage and ordered a skewer of grilled pork shish kebab ($3.45), a pungent horiatiki salad ($3.25) and some garlicky skordalia dip that came with a veritable Parthenon of crusty bread ($3.25).

This indicates that, when put in his own linguistic environment, Vasili tends to be more dominant, and so Chrissy's apparent dominance may not only have to do with her personality type, but also the fact that the couple lives in the country in which Chrissy is a native speaker of the language.
While I was interviewing Vasili, Chrissy went on with making a smoothie, even drowning him out with the sound of the blender, whereas while I was interviewing Chrissy, Vasili sat by her listening and nervously awaiting his turn.
Vasili is obviously not as confident in language as Chrissy, and this fact manifests itself in their relations to each other.

Vasili Petrovich didn't notice it right away, and when he did notice it, he didn't immediately recognize this weak but warm light emanating from the eyes of the maids, waitresses, nurses, and other workers.
Vasily Petrovich came around the corner of the rest home and suddenly froze in his tracks, reeling back slightly and craning his neck to the side like a horse galloping into a wattle fence.
Looking at their stern, almost triumphant faces, Vasily Petrovich stopped short and fell silent, heeding with surprise a strange, new, unknown sensation which arose and grew inside of him, penetrating to the very tips of his fingers and toes, a feeling of unbearable disgust with himself.
