The Tsar of all Russia, formally the Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia,[a][1] was the title of the Russian monarch from 1547 to 1721. During this period, the state was a tsardom.
The first Russian monarch to be crowned as tsar was Ivan IV, who had held the title of sovereign and grand prince.[2] In 1721, Peter I adopted the title of emperor and proclaimed the Russian Empire.[3] The old title continued to be popularly used to refer to the emperor.
