Tsar (also czar) is a Slavic term derived from the Latin caesar. Ivan III (Ivan the Great) (r. 1462-1505) was the first Russian ruler to begin using the title of tsar during his reign instead of the title Grand Prince of Moscow. His grandson, Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) (r. 1547-1584), was the first Russian ruler formally crowned as tsar.

5th September 1698, On this day Russian Tsar Peter the Great imposes a tax on beards, with the aim of forcing Russian society to adopt more European customs. The tsar’s police force actively seek out bearded men, who refuse to pay the tax, forcibly and publically shaving them. Resistance to the tax was widespread and unpopular, with the use of ‘beard tokens’ being enforced for showing authorities that the tax had been paid. The tax lasted until the 6th April 1722, when it was repealed.

This man is Patrick Gordon of Auchleuchries. He grew up near the small town of Ellon in Aberdeenshire, but during the course of his military career went on to twice save Peter the Great from the murderous intrigues of his half-sister Sofia, and was buried in one of the most magnificent funerals Moscow had ever seen. It was said the Tsar himself closed his eyes and left his deathbed in tears. You can read more about the extraordinary impact he had on the course of Russian history on our Facebook page at http://ift.tt/2oBdq85, or just search there for 'House of Gordon'! — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2F6Dked
