When Mitchell mentioned that Ivan was 237 years old on a recent episode of 'Being There', the Russian vampire said nothing to dispute the claim. So that means Ivan was "embraced into the Kindred" around 1773. And there were two major events in Russia around that time when vampires had plenty of opportunities to feed and create new vampires:
Emelian Pugachev started a rebellion in Russia.
& The Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774: Russian forces failed to take Silistria in 1773.
Under the chaotic cover of such carnage, Ivan may have been a mortally wounded Russian soldier who was turned by some vampire who took a fancy to him....
As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"
