What is another word for czarist?
Pronunciation: [tsˈɑːɹɪst] (IPA) 
Czarist, derived from the term "czar" which referred to the Russian emperors, is often used to describe the political and social conditions in imperial Russia. However, there are several other terms that can be used interchangeably with czarist, including autocratic, despotic, tyrannical, authoritarian, and dictatorial. All of these words indicate a form of government that is characterized by absolute power and control. Unlike democratic systems where power is distributed among the people, in czarist-like systems, authority rests solely on the ruler and their immediate circle. These synonyms can be used to describe the oppressive regimes of the past or present, in Russia or elsewhere.
