| | | | | | Yaroslavl: Encyclopedia II - Tsar - Russia In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia, of the Moscovian dynasty, changed his title from "Veliki Kniaz (Grand Duke) of the whole Rus" to "tsar of the whole Rus" as a symbol of change in the nature of the Russian state. In 1721 Peter I adopted the title Emperor (Император [Imperator]), by which he and his heirs were recognised, and which continued to be used informally as synonym of Tsar.
Actually the new style was adopted precisely to underline a claim that Russia, by now a rising major power in Europe, invoking a marriage ...

The Tale of Igor's Campaign - Early reactions.
When the first modern edition of the Tale was published, questions about its authenticity have risen, mostly centered on its language.

| | | | | Yaroslavl: Encyclopedia II - Ivan III of Russia - Gathering of Russian lands His first enterprise was a war with the republic of Novgorod, which, alarmed at the growing dominancy of Muscovy, had placed herself beneath the protection of Casimir IV, king of Poland, an alliance regarded at Moscow as an act of apostasy from orthodoxy. Ivan took the field against Novgorod in 1470, and after his generals had twice defeated the forces of the republic, at Shelona and on the Dvina, during the summer of 1471, the Novgorodians were forced to sue for peace, which they obtained on engaging to abandon for ever the Polish alliance, ceding a considerable portion of their ...

Russian culture - Icon painting.
Russian icon painting was inherited from the art of the Byzantine churches, and it soon became an offshooot version of the mosaic and fresco traditions. Icon paintings in Russia attempt to help people with their prayers without idolizing the figure in the painting. The most comprehensive collection of Icon art is found at the Tretyakov Gallery.[1]
Rather than being a mere imitation, Russian icons had a peculiar style and took the icon to new heights by p ...

| | | | | | Yaroslavl: Encyclopedia II - Muscovy - Rise of Muscovy When the Mongols invaded the lands of Kievan Rus', Moscow was an insignificant trading outpost in the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal'. Though Mongols burnt down Moscow in the winter 1238 and pillaged it in 1293, the outpost's remote, forested location offered some security from Mongol attack and occupation, and a number of rivers provided access to the Baltic and Black Seas and to the Caucasus region. More important to Moscow's development in what became the state of Muscovy, however, was its rule by a series of princes who were ambitious, ...

Prince Dmitry Feodorovich Belsky (1499-1551) was first recorded in 1519, when he enthroned Shahgali as the khan of Kazan. Two years later, the Crimean khan had Shahgali replaced with his own brother, defeated Belsky's army on the banks of the Oka River and devastated the area between Moscow and Kolomna. While Belsky retreated to the stronghold of Serpukhov, his absence from the capital lef ...

| | | | | Yaroslavl: Encyclopedia II - Tsar - Metaphorical uses Like many lofty titles, e.g. moghol, Tsar or Czar has been used as a metaphore for positions of high authority, in English since 1866 (referring to U.S. President Andrew Johnson), with a connotation of dictatorial powers and style, fitting since Autocrat was an official title of the Russian Emperor (informally referred to as 'the Czar').
However this use is not limited to statesmen, e.g. 'drug tsar' for the head of ...

| | | | | Yaroslavl: Encyclopedia II - Tsar - Serbia The title "Tsar" was also used in Serbia, but only by two monarchs - Stefan Dusan and Stefan Uroš V in the 14th century. Previous and later monarchs in medieval Serbia used the royal title King.
However when Serbia, emerging as a princedom as it throws of Ottoman domination, is again accepted as a kingdom, its ruler, in fact the last knjaz (prince), adopts another, native royal title, kralj, and so the king's full style is, 6 March 1882 - 1 December 1918 (New Style): Po milosti Bozjoj i volji narodnoj kralj Srbije "By the grace of God and the will ...
