Beginning with Ivan the Terrible and ending with the Russian Revolution
of 1917, the tsars and emperors of Russia wielded absolute power.
The monarchy ended in Russia when Nicholas II was deposed.
Russian tzars (caesars) were direct ancestors of Byzantine Imperial
family and thus were ancestors of the Byzantine Throne by blood
and origin. |
