In Russia, Boyars were members of the aristocratic class, holding significant power and influence during the medieval period and into the Tsardom of Russia. They were landowners and served as advisors to the prince or tsar, playing crucial roles in the administration and military. Their status was hereditary, and they often engaged in political rivalries and struggles for power, especially during times of dynastic instability. The Boyars gradually lost their political power as the centralized authority of the tsars increased, particularly under Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible).
