The Tsar of all Russia,[1] officially the Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia,[a][b][2][3][4] was the title of the Russian monarch from 1547 to 1721. During this period, the state was a tsardom.[5][6]

The first Russian monarch to be crowned tsar was Ivan IV, who had held the title of sovereign and grand prince.[7][8][9] In 1721, Peter I adopted the title of emperor and proclaimed the Russian Empire.[10] The old title tsar continued to be popularly used to refer to the emperor.[11][12]
