The Czar is out getting his hair cut, so this post will have to do until he returns in a couple hours. The Czar likes old-fashioned barbers, by the way, with razors and hot-lather and all that.

Further, your Czar does not know how you feel about label tags…those little words at the bottom of each post. In theory, if you enjoy a post and want to see what else we have said on the topic, you click the tag and get all the posts that use it.

However, there are a lot of tags in use here, and a lot of them have only one post associated with it. In that spirit, the Czar would like to write a useless post for no other reason than to recycle some of the under-appreciated tags and bump up their counts.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
