The harsh czar who expanded his empire to the Caspian Sea was Ivan IV, commonly known as Ivan the Terrible. Reigning from 1547 to 1584, he was the first ruler of Russia to be crowned as tsar and significantly expanded Russian territory through military conquests. His reign was marked by centralization of power, the establishment of a centralized government, and a reputation for ruthlessness, which contributed to his nickname. Ivan's expansionist policies laid the groundwork for future Russian expansion into Siberia and beyond.
It helped bring it into existence. Russia, not the Soviet Union, entered World War I. Russia was technologically not advanced at all, and the czar responded by throwing more men at the war. Finally, he decided to take command himself, but he was just as bad a military leader as civilian one. The people revolted, the czar fled, and the Bolsheviks easily took over the Transitional Government. About five years later, the civil war ended, and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics was declared.
Ask Obama's Time Czar,He is responsible to the President with a report of that proposed date, of course, he has yet to be appointed, as it first must be classified as a Crisis, then we get the Czar, then he advises the Secretary of Time (oops, don't have that one yet) who then will advise the President of the proposed date, when he passes muster with the Senate. gpguru

Alexandrite is named after Czar Alexander II of Russia. It was rumored to have been discovered 150 years ago on Alexander's sixteenth birthday by emerald miners but many versions of this story circulate and the true story is elusive. Whatever the real story, it became an immediate favorite of the Russian elite as the red and greens of the stone seemed to match the czarist military uniforms.

Czar is a Slavic Word, but mostly associated with Russia. A Czar (Or Tsar) Is the ruler of a Tsarist system. The most well-known Tsarist system was the Russian Empire. The term "Czar" is a Russianized form of the Roman name and title "Caesar." Ivan III of Russia married a niece of the last Caesar of the Byzantine Empire and he liked the idea of being a "Caesar" from the long line of Caesars in the Roman Empire. He began calling himself a Czar, but his grandson, Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) was the first to have himself crowned with the title "Czar."
Peter the Great was the Russian czar who transformed Russia from an isolated agricultural society into an Empire on a par with European powers.
Czar Aleksandr III was born on March 10, 1845, in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire [now Russia].
Tsar Nicholas II, The Last Ruler of the Russian Empire
Czar Aleksandr III died on November 2, 1894, in Livadiya, Taurida Governorate, Russian Empire [now Ukraine] of inflammation of the kidneys.
Ivan the Great thought his Russian Empire was the continuation of the Byzantine or Roman Empire. This was because he married a niece of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire and so considered himself to be a continuation of that line. His belief caused him to refer to himself as Czar (Russian for Caesar). His grandson Ivan IV (the Terrible) had himself crowned as Czar thereby making the title formal.
Russia. After the october revolution and the fall of the Czar.
