Russian Empire
The Russian Empire (Russian: Рфійская Empire; also All-Russian Empire) was a state that existed from October 22 (November 2), 1721[13] until the February Revolution and the proclamation of the republic in September 1917 by the Provisional Government.
Empire.
Being the largest state of Eurasia, it was located in Eastern and Northern Europe, Northern and Central Asia, and also until 1867 in North America.
The empire was proclaimed on October 22 (November 2), 1721, at the end of the Northern War, when, at the request of the senators, Peter I assumed the titles of Emperor of All Russia and Father of the Fatherland[14].
The capital of the Russian Empire from 1721 to 1728 and from 1732 to 1917 was St. Petersburg (in 1914-1917, Petrograd), and in 1728-1732, Moscow[3][4][5][6].
The Russian Empire was the third largest of the ever-existing states (after the British and Mongol empires). By the end of its existence, it extended to the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Black Sea in the south, to the Baltic Sea in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. At the head of the empire is the Emperor of All Russia, he had absolute power until 1905 (the Manifesto of 1905), with the exception of a brief period at the beginning of the reign of the Empress of All Russia Anna Ioannovna, when the conditions imposed on her by members of the Supreme Privy Council upon accession to the throne were in effect, severely limiting her power.
The state system of the Russian Empire was an absolute monarchy based on the ideological doctrine "Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality" until the 1905 revolution, which resulted in the establishment of a dualistic monarchy. After the February Revolution of 1917, Emperor Nicholas II abdicated. Immediately after this, the Provisional Government was formed from members of the Provisional Committee of the State Duma, which on September 1 (14), 1917 proclaimed the country a republic[15] (although this issue fell within the competence of the Constituent Assembly, which also declared Russia a republic on January 5 (18), 1918[16] ]).
In 1917, as a result of the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks seized power, which led to a civil war, and in 1918 the imperial family was shot. The Soviet Union was founded in 1922.
The Romanov dynasty ruled the Russian Empire from 1721 to 1762. Her paternal matrilineal branch of German origin (Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov) ruled from 1762 until the overthrow of the monarchy.
The empire's only census in 1897 recorded 125.6 million people, which at the time was the third largest in the world after the Qing Empire and British India.
In different eras, the empire's economy had different shapes and sizes. Until 1861, as in some other countries of that period (Austria, Prussia, Denmark), part of the peasants (about 37% in 1861) were serfs and did not have personal freedom. After the abolition of serfdom, the economy began to grow rapidly, and by 1913 the Russian Empire was ranked 3rd in the world in terms of GDP after the British Empire and the United States. The process of modernization of the economy took place, among other things, with the help of foreign investment in infrastructure and industry.
At various times, boyars and nobles took part in governing the country, in addition to the monarch. In the 20th century, the forms of access to the institutions of power expanded to other class groups of society, while the degree of their involvement depended on social affiliation.
