He unified many Russian lands under Moscow and built a stronger, more centralized monarchy.

Explanation: Ivan III (the Great) expanded Muscovite territory (e.g., annexing Novgorod and Tver), subordinated rival princes and the boyars, centralized administration, and stopped paying tribute to the Mongol khans (the 1480 stand on the Ugra River). These actions strengthened Moscow and created the basis of an autocratic Russian state.
