Ivan II Ivanovich the Fair (Иван II Иванович Красный in Russian) (March 30, 1326–November 13, 1359) was a ruler of Moscow (1353–1359).
Upon succeeding his brother Semeon to the throne, Ivan initially toyed with abandoning the traditional Muscovite allegiance to the Mongols and allying with Lithuania. This policy was quickly abandoned, however, and for the later part of his reign Ivan was loyal to the Khan.
Wives:
- Feodosia, daughter of Bryansk Prince Dmitry 1341-1342
- Grand Duchess Alexandra Ivanovna (1345-1359, d. December 27, 1364)
