THE RUSSIAN GLARS

1t was on this date in 1882, just
435 years ago today, that the Russian
autocracy had it's beginning, as it was
then that Ivan (John) Basilovitz,
Grand Duke of Moscow, assumed the
title Of Car of Muscovy, as Ivan III.
The title he thus adopted, which is a
Slavonic form Of Caesar, has con-
tinued in popular use to this day, al
though since Peter the Great the Rus
sian rulers have borne officially the
title Of emperor. Ivan III. has been
surnamed "the Great in Russian his
tory, in which he is one Of the most
important figures, for to him was due
the consolidation of the autocracy
whcih. after many centuries, is now
seemingly at an end.
Ivan III. reigned for forty-three
years, and was succeeded by Vasali
", who assumed the title Of emperor
Ivan ". surnamed "the Terrible
ruled from 1888 to 1888, under the
title Of Gar of Muscovy, and it was
during his reign that this title came
into general acceptance. During his
reign Siberia was annexed, and COM
mercial intercourse between Russia
and England was commenced. He
was a ferocious tyrant, and is said to
have died from grief for his son,
whom he had slain in a fit Of passion.
For more than a quarter of century
after the death of Ivan the Terrible
the throne of Muscovy was in dispute,
with impostor Demetrius and usurper
Boris sGodon of committing murder to
gain their ends. In 1913 Michael
Feodorovitz, descendant Of Ivan Ill,
the first Car, gained the crown, he
being the first of the RomanOff
dynasty, which has held sway up to
the recent revolution.
The first of the Romanoffs did much
to ameliorate the conditions Of his
country and to open it to the human
izing influences of western civilization.
Under his son, Car Alexis. styled 'the
father Of his country" the boundaries
Of Russia were greatly extended. His
son, Feodorj IL, was the father Of
Peter the Great q strange COM
jointly with his brother Ivan V.
Peter the Great, strang COM
pound Of civilization and barbarisn,
spent some time studying the institu-
tons Of western Europe, and even
worked as a common laborer in order
methods Modern Russia had its real
beginning with Peter the Great, who
built st. Petersburg and made it his
apital.
Peter was succeeded on the throne
by his widow, Catherine l., woman
of humble birth and dubious morals.
Peter IL, grandson Of Peter the
Great, ruled from 1927 to 1880, when
he was deposed. Then followed the
ten-year reign of Anne of Courland,
daughter Of Ivan, brother of Peter
the Great. Ivan VI, grand
nephew of Peter, was the next nomi-
| nal ruler, but he spent most of his
| life in a dungeon, and was finally
murdered, while Elizabeth, daughter
| of Peter the great, wore the crown.
| In 1852 Peter III, son of Anne, was
! crowned, deposed and murdered, and
Catherine the Great, his consort, be-
gan her memorable reign. Her son,
! Paul, was murdered in 1901. His son,
Alexander l., died in 1925 and was
succeeded by his brother Nicholas l.,
who died in 1855. The latter's son,
Alexander H., was assassinated in 1881
and his son, Alexander Ill, father OF
the recently deposed Nicholas, died in
1894.
