Özet: The Russian monarchy re-emerged as pride of modern Russian Federation, after a gap of around seven decades.The paper primarily concentrates on the period of Russian rulers from Peter the Great to Nicholas- II, the last Romanov. Why did I start with Peter-I? It is mainly due to the period of Peter witnessed the transformation of Russian state into a „European political entity‟ from the so called „Asian‟ or Eastern. Finally, the Russian state relieved from the shadows of „Tatar Yoke‟ or Western European political powers started to see Russian monarchs as one among „us‟ than „others.‟ Russian emperors also used or even created various symbols, ceremonies and traditions for legitimizing their rule.
