Rasputin. When he was killed he really gave it a good fight. At first poison was given him and he lived. Then he was shot, and lived. Next he was stabbed and this did the job. After he was dead his murders stuffed his body under the ice in the river going through St. Petersburg and after a day or so they got him out and cremated his body just to be sure he was dead.
The present day Russian Federation originated from Slavic Tribes and the first Slavic State had been founded in 882 under the name of Kievan Rus'. Ivan III the Great later United independent villages and cities of modern day Russia under one State and expelled the Tatars from his land. During this time the area which is now Russia was already referred to as Russia, but not officially. From then on it had always been called Russia. Immediately after the Russian Revolution, it was referred to as the Russian Republic, the Soviet Republic or the Russian Soviet Republic. A constitution was adopted in November 1917 with the formal name the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. It kept this name as one of the republics of the Soviet Union which was created in 1922. In 1937, it was renamed the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. It was renamed the Russian Federation in 1991 after the break down of the Soviet Union.

No. China has a very long non-communist history under emperors. Russia was once ruled by czars, and they are no longer communist. Cuba was ruled by the Spanish.
The Czars were overall not the kindest to their people however Stalin was probably many times worse. His systematic killing of political opponents and undesirables made him one of the biggest mass murderers of all time. More people died under Stalin than under Hitler.
Under Czarist rule, the capital of Russia was originally Moscow as the Grand Duchy of Muscovy was the dominant force in Russia at the time of the Ivan III, the first ruler to refer to himself as Czar. Then Czar Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg. Vladimir Lenin later moved it back to Moscow.

Yes, the Jews were persecuted horribly under the Czars. Please see the related article for the history.
No, it didn't. Under Peter the Great's reign Saint-Petersburg became the capital of Russia. Only in 1917 when the regime of czars fell and the Soviet Union was founded, Moscow again became the capital.
Since it was Christianized during the Dark Ages, Russia has been Orthodox, that is iof the Russian Orthodox faith. Under the Czars this was virtually a government agency akin to the Army, Police, Post office, etc! Ministers of the Orthodox were in effect civil servants- competing religions were discouraged- and in some cases harrassed, like the Jewish People. So be it- pun intended.
Roubles is the Russian monetary unit under both Czars and Commissars and now. Thanks, really needed that!
