Russian history
• After the 13th century, Moscow became a political and cultural center.
Moscow has become a center for the unification of Russian lands. By the end
of the 15th century, Moscow united the northeastern and northwestern
Russian principalities, in 1480 finally overthrew the Mongol yoke. The
territories of the Grand Duchy of Moscow became the Tsardom of Russia in
1547. In 1721 Tsar Peter the Great renamed his state as the Russian
Empire, hoping to associate it with historical and cultural achievements of
ancient Rus' – in contrast to his policies oriented towards Western Europe.
The state now extended from the eastern borders of the Polish–Lithuanian
Commonwealth to the Pacific Ocean. Russia was a great power and
dominated Europe after the victory over Napoleon. Peasant revolts were
common, and all were fiercely suppressed. The Emperor Alexander
II abolished Russian serfdom in 1861, but the peasants fared poorly and
revolutionary pressures grew. In the following decades, reform efforts such as
the Stolypin reforms of 1906–1914, the constitution of 1906, and the State
Duma (1906–1917) attempted to open and liberalize the economy and
political system, but the Emperor refused to relinquish autocratic rule and
resisted sharing his power.
