A reasonable guess, Tul. But no, that's not what I had in mind with "terrible".

Yes! Blessed is the girldetective who found where I am. So you're up again, gd.


As I clued above, Ivan the Terrible commissioned the construction of this cathedral. And living up to his terrible reputation, Ivan had the architect, Postnik Yakovlev, blinded to prevent him from building a more magnificent building for anyone else.
