Answer 2

Tsarism wasn't implemented during the Russian Revolution, it was overthrown. It is an autocratic system with the Tsar ruling with absolute power. During the Russian Revolution the peasant class led by the middle/educated class revolted and jailed the tsar and Lenin came to power. Under Lenin, Russia tried a limited market economy but as soon as Stalin came into power he implemented the first of his 5 years plans. This was to reform Russia's economic backwardness. Stalin hired experts in industrial fields from the US and other European countries to come in and show his people how to make things. It was called crash industrialization. Unfortunately, Stalin focused soly on industry that would make Russia more militarily powerful and used food harvests to get the necessary capital. Many people starved and few people had basic necessities such as clothes and housing so they didn't really stop being backward except in military technology.

Answer 4

Tsar (Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian цар, Russian царь (help·info), in scientific transliteration respectively car and car' ), occasionally spelled Czar or Tzar and sometimes Csar or Zar in English, is a Slavonic term designating certain monarchs.

Originally, and indeed during most of its history, the title tsar (derived from Caesar) meant Emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, i.e., a ruler who has the same rank as a Roman or Byzantine emperor due to recognition by another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch). Occasionally, the word could be used to designate other, non-Christian supreme rulers. In Russia and Bulgaria, the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time and by the 19th century it had come to be viewed as an equivalent of king,[1].[2] The modern languages of these countries use it as a general term for a monarch.[3][4] For example, the title of the Bulgarian monarchs in the 20th century was not generally interpreted as imperial (although the title was possibly implying imperial ambitions).

"Tsar" was the official title of the supreme ruler in the following states:

Bulgaria in 913–1018, in 1185-1422 and in 1908–1946
Serbia in 1346–1371
Russia from about 1480 (or 1547) until 1721 (after 1721 and until 1917, the title was used officially only in reference to the Russian emperor's sovereignty over certain formerly independent states such as Poland and Georgia)
