Usage notes
- (emperor of Russia): Officially, emperors after 1721 were styled imperator (импера́тор (imperátor)) rather than tsar (царь (carʹ)), but the latter term is still commonly applied to them.
- The term sometimes refers to other emperors, besides those of Russia.
- The spelling czar is most common one in the US, especially in the figurative and informal senses. Scholarly literature prefers tsar.
