Only in 1480, when the Mongol-Tartars grow week, did one monk -Vasian Ryla, the spiritual guide of duke Ivan III of Moscow, dare to call the duke the "real Tsar" and to call Mongol Tsars the usurpers of the throne. This way he inspired Ivan to fight the "Tsar" of Mongols Achmat who came with a huge army to make Rus' obedient once again. In the long battle of several weeks - "standing at Ugra river" the Russians managed not to let Mongol-Tartars pass the border river Ugra for the first time. they were lucky that Grand duke of Lithuania (that was very powerful and the biggest state in Europe at that time) - Kazimieras (Casimir) came too late with his army to help the Mongols.
From then on Ivan the III began to collect Russian lands and to make Russia (Muscovy) a really big state calling himself Tsar (=Caesar/ Emperor / king of kings) when communicating to Western Rulers, but he was very humble with the "Tsar" of the last remnant of Mongol world power - the khanate of Crimea, calling himself in a letter to him "Moscow duke Ivashka".
But when Russia (Muscovy) gained real power and began to add vast Tartar lands to its territory it acted like a restorer of Golden Horde and Tsar was presenting himself to the Eastern tribes as "The White Tsar" (equivalent to former title Ak Khan/ White (=noble) Khan of Mongols. This way the power of Tsar was made legitimate in a territory which had to become the greatest country (better to say country composed of many countries) in the world.
Such a tremendous territory needed one ruler to govern it effectively.
And even the "native" Russian lands = the lands that they colonized before freeing from Mongol rule in nowadays European Russia were very big - biggest in Europe.
SO gradually Russians developed their type of autocracy - rule of Tsar alone, their special system which adopted many features from Great Mongol Ulus including army organization and "jam" - the efficient imperial post that carried messages in enormous steppe lands enabling efficient control of information and managing the events in such big spaces. So the people viewed such an efficient system as the only possible one and securing the power of their state.
The term Russian Revolution refers to a series of the revolutions that took place in Russia in 1917. The main circumstances responsible for the Russian Revolution includes the Dictatorial rule of Tsars, conditions of the peasantry, status of industries etc. In 1914, Tsar Nicholas II was the emperor of Russia, he waged several wars to expand his empire. Therefore, he sustained the expense of the war by taxing the common people. Secondly, Majority of the Russians were peasants, particularly wage peasants (who worked on the farms of the clergy and nobles). Although they worked hard they did not get enough wage sometimes they were not even paid for their work. Thirdly, most of the industries in Russia were owned by private industrialists. Though the government supervised the working conditions of the workers, still rules were broken. Workers were exploited in the industries. The theory of communism given by Karl Marx urged the Russian people to overthrow capitalism and government of capitalists by the revolution.
