Attack on the work: 

On January 16, 1913, Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan were stabbed three times with a knife by a 29-year-old iconoclast, the son of a furniture maker. The curator of the Tretyakov Gallery, Georgy Khruslov, upon learning of the vandalism of the canvas, threw himself under a train. The painting was restored to almost its original state with the help of Repin.

In May 2018, the canvas was again attacked at the Tretyakov Gallery by a drunken visitor who broke its protective glass with a metal bar. The painting was seriously damaged. The central part of the work, which depicts the Tsarevich, is pierced in three places.
