They were also more distant cousins in blood because Paul I of Russia was great-great grandfather of both.
Also both Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas had a cousin in common- King Geoge V of England, however they were each related to him in different ways. Nicholas' mother, Dagmar of Denmark, and George's mother, Alexandra of Denmark, were sisters. George's father, Edward VII of England, and Wilhelm's mother, Vicky, were brother and sister - children of Queen Victoria.
Two of King George V's first cousins were Tsar Nicholas of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm was the grandson of Queen Victoria, so was King George. Tsar Nicholas was the grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark, so was King George. So, the Kaiser and the Tsar were related to King George, but the Tsar was not as closely related to the Kaiser.
