Why was 14th century Russia called Tsarist Russia and what does "Tsar" mean? Why was the Tsar called the Tsar? What was the system of state and government of Tsarist Russia?

According to the mainstream Russian and world school of thought, Tsarist Russia was the name of the Russian state from 1547 to 1721, and in 1721, after Peter I won the Great Northern War with Sweden, he was awarded the title of "Emperor of all Russia" by the Russian Senate and was officially called the Emperor. The official state name of Russia was "Russian Empire", shortened to Tsarist Russia.

Russian tsar (Царь) in the word "sand" from the Latin word "Caesar" in the translation of the sound (Цезарь), Царь is "great emperor which means "great emperor". In Chinese, the word is translated half phonetically and half meaningfully as "tsar's".

The tsar (Russian: царь) was a title adopted by some Slavic monarchs, the word deriving from the Latin title "Caesar" in Roman times, which in the Middle Ages was regarded as having a status similar to that of the word "emperor", i.e., the same as that of the Roman emperor, subject to the authority of other emperors or religious leaders. It was considered to have the same status as the word "emperor" in the Middle Ages, i.e., to be recognized by other emperors or religious leaders (such as the Pope or the Patriarch of Constantinople) as the Roman Emperor.

After Peter I changed his main title to "Triumphant General and Dictator" (Russian: Император и Самодержец), the word "tsar" was officially recognized as equivalent to "king". "king", but the Russian monarch is still unofficially referred to as the tsar, both in civil society and abroad.

The state of Russia was a feudal monarchy with a centralized monarchical system of government.

p>In 1547, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Moscow, Ivan IV, was crowned tsar, and the Russian state was born. 1721 Peter I, after his victory in the Great Northern War with the Kingdom of Sweden, was awarded the title of "Emperor of All Russia" by the Russian Senate, and Russia formally became an empire in the true sense of the word. In the mid-to-late 18th century, Russia was at its height during the reign of Ekaterina II.

Russia during the reign of Alexander I participated in the European resistance to Napoleon's anti-French alliance and became the leader of the post-war Holy Alliance, and since then has long acted as the "gendarme of Europe".

The Russian Empire was one of the traditional powers of Europe and one of the world's great powers at the time. It was not until its defeat in the Crimean War in the mid-nineteenth century that the shortcomings of the Russian serfdom system were revealed, leading to the relative lagging behind of Russia in terms of economic development, social development, and industrialization compared to the other European powers, and although Alexander II carried out a reform of the Russian serfdom system in 1861, the reforms were not complete.

In 1904, Russia was again defeated in the Russo-Japanese War, a war of imperialist rivalry over spheres of influence.

In August 1914, politically unstable Russia entered World War I. The unbearable war situation led directly to the February Revolution of 1917, when Nicholas II signed a declaration of abdication, the Russian Empire fell, and the Russian **** and State (Provisional Government of Russia) was established, but was overthrown by the Bolsheviks through the October Revolution in the same year, and was replaced by the Soviet Union.
