Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, adopted the title of "Grand Prince of Moscow" and later claimed the title of "Tsar" (meaning "Caesar" in Russian) to signify his authority as the ruler of a unified Russia. This title established the legitimacy of his rule and linked his reign to the legacy of the Byzantine Empire. Ivan III's use of the title marked a significant step in the evolution of Russian sovereignty and the centralization of power.

Ivan IV's reign was characterized by significant territorial expansion and centralization of power.

The title of tsar in Russia was officially in use from the coronation of Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) in 1547 until the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, marking a period of approximately 370 years.
