czardom

Imprison them for a quarter of a century, and on the day of their release they will conspire against czardom.

The power of Czardom was enforced ignorance, and this made possible the infamous treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

Russia had welcomed the present war as an answer to the Revolution that was threatening Czardom.

Truly, it was not so much the force of arms as that of ignorance which kept up the Czardom for hundreds of years.

And so the line has been made, a symbol to all who travel on it of the irresponsible might of the Russian Czardom.
