Timeline History of Russia 1533-1991

1533-1584

      The Russian Empire, covering over one-sixth of the world, is
governed by the sovereignty of Czar Ivan the Terrible. The feudal
system oppresses every man, woman and child as the Czar releases "Tax
Collectors" to maintain support for the nobles in the land. Brigands
and financial extortionists persecute any lower class citizen who
refuses to help contribute to the Czar's regime.

1682-1725

      Under Czar Peter I (Peter the Great), the Russian Empire begins
to flourish with traces of traditional social structure modifications
in the country. Observing the radical advances of western

      Czar Nicholas II finally realized that his current economic
monarchy was holding back the development of the empire. He therefore
created a parliamentary system in 1905 which would decrease the number
of strikes and violent outbursts generating from the peasants. This
representative assembly (called a Duma) was convened a total of four
times during the first World War and gave legitimacy to other
political factions within the empire and would hopefully increase
civil rights.

1917-1924

      World War I led to the abdication (resignation) of the Czar as
the people revolted against his useless monarchy. Famine, disease and
