Russian Imperial History 3/20

Russia: Land Of The Tsars

The Russian Empire (Pre-reform Russian: Россійская Имперія, Modern Russian: Российская Империя, translit: Rossiyskaya Imperiya) was a state that existed from 1721 until the Russian Revolution of 1917. It was the successor to the Tsardom of Russia, and the predecessor of the Soviet Union. It was the second largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen, surpassed only by the Mongol Empire, and the third largest empire the world has ever seen, surpassed only by the Mongol Empire and the British Empire . At one point in 1866, it stretched from eastern Europe, across Asia, and into North America.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Russia was the largest country in the world, extending from the Arctic Ocean to the north to the Black Sea on the south, from the Baltic Sea on the west to the Pacific Ocean on the east. Across this vast realm were scattered the Emperor's 176.4 million subjects, the third largest population of the world at the time, after Qing China and the British Empire, but still represented a great disparity in economic, ethnic, and religious positions. Its government, ruled by the Emperor, was one of the last absolute monarchies left in Europe. Prior to the outbreak of World War I in August 1914 Russia was one of the five major Great Powers of Europe. The empire had lasted ultimately for 196 years, from 1721-1917.

The life of a King.

Cruel Ivan IV Grozny may have been, but considering what he was up against with the boiars, he HAD to be, to survive.

@IndisguiseIam I'm not sure how far has our race gone in last 1000 years. I don't see people who lived 1000 years ago as savages, they had to be really smart to survive winter or to survive their "hard" way of life. Basically we are more healthy, we have mobiles, internet, warm home. But that's all. We are living in huge comfort in comparison to them, but people haven't evolved at all.

@IndisguiseIam I agree =)

[Khalid88Nasser]

@IndisguiseIam You are absolutely right =) and that's what I mean !

every era has a different way of seeing things and every era has a different way of life, society, and cutlure !

so when someone judges a person who lived a 1000 years ago upon the laws of today he/she is igonrant!

you can't put your modern day criteria on someone that lived in a different time and do not forget the circumstances these people were in! circumstances always change the way we protray or view things.
