It provided spiritual guidance to the Russian people and it opposed the Atheist government of the Communist regime.

That day Nicholai II was abdicated.

Ivan is the Russian name for "John". In Hebrew, John is Yokhanan (יוחנן) which means "God is kind".

Usually, people think of her mostly as a queen which tried to modernize Russia, but there are many more ways of knowing her.

Russia at the time of the revolution was under the autocratic rule of Tsar Nicholas II who believed in the Divine Right of Kings. A system of governance unsuited to needs of modern times.

The Russian empire was vast and feudal. The bureaucracy was top heavy, inefficient and recruited from the privileged classes rather than on the basis of merit and ability. The Russian Tsars had built a vast empire by conquest of various nationalities. They were subjected to Russian culture and languages. The Tsar showed little concern to their sensitivity.

Yes, the Russians have settled throughout Eastern Europe. At one point, Russia (then the USSR) used to control practically all of Eastern Europe.

Moscow is 969.1 square miles.

No. Russia is an Authoritarian country, which means it has a poor level of democracy. If you speak against Putin, you can get in trouble. There's also a lot of government corruption, and a high crime rate.

There are many things that you may want to get used to if you move to Russia. The language is one of them (Russians do speak English in their vast majority, but not as well as people in other countries on the European continent). Also, you may want to get used to the fact that Russians eat a lot of fish and that whatever is labelled as "snack" in a restaurant menu will probably be very greasy (and it will come with a shot of vodka). Furthermore, do get used to the fact that Russians are religious and you will see a lot of Orthodox churches spread throughout the entire surface of the country. And do get used to the idea that there are Mongoloid-looking Russians as well (not just tall blonds).

Alaska,because Alaska was once apart of the Russian country.But then Russia sold Alaska to the U.S.

I have done some research and as it occurs, there was a brief period that some refer to as the occupation of Yugoslavia from the USSR.

During the WWII, what was later formed as Yugoslavia was defended by the Partisans, a peoples movement inspired by communism, and one must add, the simple need for defense. The Russian forces did help in the final push against the Germans, and Yugoslavia remained communist for many decades. This is where the occupation part comes in - as the Russian forces barged in to help against the Germans, they stayed for some time. But, the country was never even remotely a part of the USSR, later there was even a fallout between Tito, the leader of the communist Yugoslavia, and the leader of the USSR at the time.

They sent in the Soviet Army, rolled tanks throughout the country and crushed the opposition. A Soviet backed government was installed, 26,000 people were arrested, 22,000 were sentenced, 13,000 imprisoned, and hundreds executed. As well hundreds were deported to work camps with no trial. About 200,000 Hungarians fled Hungary and became refugees.

While we refer to the person as Prime Minister in Russia, the official term is actually Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation. This position is appointed by the President of the Russian Federation subject to the consent of the State Duma. The Chairman can be dismissed at any time by the President or the Chairman can tender his resignation, although the President can reject the resignation and force the Chairman to continue serving.

The Russians could not maintain control of it. The British and the U.S.A got into a bidding war for it, but the British showed little interest in buying it. So, the U.S.A bought it for $7,200,000.

Tsar Peter I (the Great) conceived and built St.Petersburg, thumbing his nose at the Swedes, and moved his capital there when St.Petersburg was finished in 1712. His motive was to present a worthy and impressive city to the world. He named it for his patron saint, St.Peter, it was not a mark of vanity on his part.
