Note: This record uses the British Standard (BGN/PCGN) method for romanization of Russian cyrilic. English language sources before the 1950s used French transliteration suffix for -ov as -off. Older English translations translated the suffixes of -sky as -sk'ii, -Ye as -E and -y as -ii. Until 1918 the name Theodore, Rus: Fyodor - was spelled with the obsolete letter Fita translated as -Th.

Note:* Nikolay II initially abdicated in favour of his son Aleksey but in a matter

of hours later changed his mind due to his son’s haemophilia, and instead drew up a new

manifesto proclaiming his brother Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich as Emperor without

informing him. Grand Duke Mikhail was proclaimed Mikhail II but declined the throne

until elections could be held. The legality of Nikolay II's abdication is disputed,

especially whether the emperor had the right to abdicate on behalf of his son, thus

neither the Tsarovich nor Grand Duke Mikhail are normally included as Russian monarchs,

though they are known to legitimists who do not recognise the adbication as lawful.



In western sources the rulers of Russia are generally refered to as "Tsars" or "Czars,"

which is strictly incorrect. The official title from 1721 was "Emperor" while "Tsar"

translates as "King" and was only in unofficial and colloqual use. However, it is worth

noting that the last two emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II strongly identified

with old Moscowvy and prefered the title "Tsar" to emperor.


The Emperor's full style: "By the Grace of God, N.N, Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia,

Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod; King of Kazan, King of Astrakhan, King of Poland,

King of Siberia, King of the Chersonese Taurian, King of Georgia, Lord of Pskov and

Grand Prince of Smolensk, Grand Prince of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, Grand Duke of

Finland, Prince of Estonia, Prince of Livonia, Duke of Courland Semigalia, Samogitia

Belostok, Karelia, Tver, Yugorskyland, Perm, Vyatka, Bolgar and others; Lord and Grand

Prince of Nizhny Nogorod, Chernigov, Ryazan, Polotsk, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Belozersk,

Udorsky, Obdorsk, Kondia, Vitebsk, Mstislav, and all of the northern countries Master;

and Lord of Iberia, Kartli, and Kabardia lands and Armenian provinces; Circassian

and Mountainous Princes and their Hereditary Lord and Owner; Lord of Turkestan;

Norwegian Heir; Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, and Oldenburg

and others and others."


Other styles used in imperial Russia: Baron = Baron; Graf = Count; Knyaz' = Prince;

Velikiy Knyaz' = Grand Prince. (note that this is the precise translation but not the

one widely used in English sources which use Grand Duke/Grand Duchess instead).

Note: Old style (Julian) dates in parenthesis. After the October revolution civil war

conditions existed in Russia until the last anti-communist forces were defeated in

the far east. Various 'white' forces and other anti-Bolshevik forces including nationalist

movements opperated all over the former empire in areas not controlled by the Soviet

government. In areas they controlled they even set up their own de facto independent

states. The 'whites' were not really a continuation of the provisional government as

such and the last provisional leader Kerensky refused to support them.
