In the year 1721, Peter I took the additional title of Emperor of All the Russias along with the corresponding styles.
It should be noted that the correct title of the heir to the Throne of Russia in English is Tsesarevich and Grand Duke.
The spelling of the words Tsar, Tsesarevich, Tsarevna, etc. with a "cz" rather than a "ts" comes to us from the Polish language via French. The Russians use the single cyrillic letter ц (ts) when they write these words.
