Best Answer

Russia is a complicated place to document. The first four rulers of what was to become the Russian empire were Ryurik, Oleg, Igor, Olga (Igor's wife and Svyatoslav's mother was Regent for Svyatoslav I) and Svyatoslav I. The first ruler to use the title Tsar, was Ivan III (The Great). All previous rulers had used titles like "Grand Duke", "Prince" and "Grand Prince". Subsequent Russian rulers to use the title Tsar were Ivan IV (The Terrible), Fyodor I and Boris Godunov. After the end of the Ryurikid Dynasty and the establishment of the Romanov Dynasty, all Russian rulers were known as Tsar and/or Emperor or Tsarina and/or Empress.
