The causes of Russian revolution are much more complicated than they appear in the explanations given by massive culture. The system of autocratic ruling ("samoderzhavije") in Russia was an organically developed original Russian system for ruling the vast territories of Rus' governed by rapidly Moscow state as well as the immense lands of steppes (prairies) and taiga (northern forests) inhabited by multitude of different tribes - the territories of former Great Mongol Ulus ("steppe empire") annexed by dukes of Moscow, who assumed the title of Tsar (=Emperor). This title of Tsar Russians dared to reserve only Byzantine Emperor and later to Great Khans of mongols or those of Golden Horde, which were all considered feudal overlords of all Russian dukes and their lands. Even the supreme duke of Moscow was sort of main sherif of mongols in Rus' who cared about collecting the tribute from all lands of Rus' and to send it to mongols in time.
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.
