97 years since the fall of Imperial Russia…

[PrincessOfPeace]

For 634 years, some form of monarchy had been in operation in Russia, first as the Principality of Moscow, then as the Tsardom of Russia, and more recently, the Russian Empire with some of the most high profile monarchs to ever reign in Europe from Ivan the Terrible to Catherine the Great.

Nicholas II was the last Tsar of Russia, as a successful revolution forced him to abdicate. Nicholas II's reign lasted until March 15, 1917 at which point the Russian Empire fell following his abdication, and the Empire was replaced by a Republic set up by Provisional Government.
