List of Russian rulers
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
At different times, a ruler in Ruthenia/Kievan Rus'/Muscovy/early Russia/Imperial Russia beared the title of Kniaz (translated as Duke or Prince), Velikiy Kniaz (translated as Grand Duke, Grand Prince or Great Prince), Tsar, Emperor.
The Patriarchs, heads of the Russian Orthodox Church, also sometimes acted as the leaders of Russia — as, for example, during the Polish occupation and interregnum of 1610—1613.
