Zemsky Sobor
After claiming the throne, Kirill became known as the "Soviet Tsar" because in the event of a restoration of the monarchy, he intended to keep some of the features of the Soviet regime. While living in exile, he was supported by some emigres who styled themselves "legitimists" ("legitimisti", in Russian легитимисты), underlining the "legitimacy" of Kirill's succession. The opponents of Kirill were known as the "un-predetermined" ("nepredreshentsi", in Russian непредрешенцы); they believed that in the wake of the radical revolutionary events that the convening of a "Zemsky Sobor" was necessary in order to choose a new monarch for Russia.
