This document provides an overview of the Tsars (supreme rulers) of Russia from Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century to Nicholas II in the early 20th century. It discusses how each Tsar expanded the autocratic power of their role and instituted policies that oppressed the peasant class. Key events mentioned include Ivan the Terrible strengthening the Tsar's power above nobles, serfdom beginning under Mikhail I, and reforms under Alexander II including the abolition of serfdom in 1861. The document aims to show patterns in Russian history under its autocratic rulers that continued into the 20th century.
