Notes and references
  1. In 1575, Ivan the Terrible declared the Kassim Khan "the Grand Duke of all Russia," but retained influence on the country's politics. In 1576, Ivan the Terrible returned to the throne.
  2. In the period 1610-1612 after the overthrow of Tsar Vasily Shuisky, power in Moscow belonged to the Boyar Duma, which created an interim government of seven boyars. The government was headed by the main boyar - Fedor Mstislavsky.
  3. In the fall of 1612, a united rebelion liberated Moscow from Polish interventionists and abolished the Seven Boyars. The new government was headed by Dmitry Trubetskoy, who formally led Russia before the election of Mikhail Romanov as Tsar in 1613.
  4. Rules together with Peter I.
  5. Rules together with Ivan V.
  6. During his lifetime, Alexander I appointed Nicholas as heir, because his elder brother Konstantin abdicated the throne, but only a small number of close associates knew about this, which caused the situation of interregnum and the oath of oath to Konstantin began. In December, Konstantin repeatedly abdicated the throne.
  7. Abdicated in favor of his younger brother Michael. The next day, Michael refused to become Emperor, saying that the fate of the monarchy should be decided by the Constituent Assembly.
  8. Legally, the highest officials of the Soviet state were:
    1917–1922 — Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR;

    1938–1989 — Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR;
    1989–1990 — Chairman of the Supreme Council of the USSR;
    1990–1991 — President of the USSR.
    De facto, all these posts (except for the President of the USSR) did not have such an influence as the Head of Government or the General Secretary of the Party.
