== History == Tsarism began with Ivan IV, known as [[File:IvanTerrible-icon.png]] [[Ivan the Terrible Thought|Ivan the Terrible]], who was crowned the first Tsar of [[File:AllRussianNation-icon.png]] [[All-Russian Nation|All Russia]] in 1547. His reign marked the centralization of power in the hands of the Tsar, diminishing the influence of the [[File:Oligarchy-icon.png]] [[Oligarchy|boyars]] (nobility). The [[File:Romanov-icon.png]] [[House of Romanov|Romanov dynasty]], which started with [[File:Romanov-icon.png]] [[House of Romanov|Michael Romanov]] in 1613, continued this trend, expanding the [[File:Russian Empire-icon.png]] [[Russian Empire]] significantly and consolidating [[File:Autocracy-icon.png]] [[Autocracy|autocratic]] rule. Tsar [[File:PeterGreat-icon.png]] [[Petrinism|Peter the Great]] (reigned 1682-1725) further modernized [[File:Russian Empire-icon.png]] [[Russian Empire|Russia]] by adopting Western technologies and administrative reforms, transforming Russia into a major European power. His successors, including [[File:Catherinianism-icon.png]] [[Catherinianism|Catherine the Great]], continued these efforts, but the [[File:Autocracy-icon.png]] [[Autocracy|autocratic]] nature of Tsarism often led to social and political tensions. By the 19th century, the autocratic system faced significant challenges from a rapidly changing society. The emancipation of the serfs in 1861 by Tsar [[File:Alexander2-icon.png]] [[Alexander the Liberator Thought|Alexander II]] marked a significant reform, but it did not quell rising discontent among the peasantry and the growing industrial working class. The early 20th century saw increasing revolutionary activity, culminating in the Russian Revolution of 1905, which forced Tsar [[File:Nicholas2-icon.png]] [[Nicholas II Thought|Nicholas II]] to grant limited reforms, including the creation of the [[File:Parliament-icon.png]] [[Imperial Duma|Duma]] (parliament). However, the autocratic structure largely remained intact until the February Revolution of 1917, which led to [[File:Nicholas2-icon.png]] [[Nicholas II Thought|Nicholas II]]'s abdication and the eventual collapse of Tsarist rule, paving the way for the [[File:MarxLenin-icon.png]] [[Bolsheviks|Bolshevik]] Revolution and the establishment of the [[File:USSR-icon.png]] [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]].
