Just a few months later, though, a communist group called the Bolsheviks seized power. In 1917, Russians unhappy with their leadership overthrew Tsar Nicholas II and formed an elected government. Now known as Catherine the Great, the empress continued to modernize Russia supported arts and culture and expanded its territory, claiming Ukraine, Crimea, Poland, and other places. Just six months later the tsar died-perhaps on his wife’s orders. In 1762, Peter took a trip to Germany, and his wife, Catherine, named herself the sole ruler of Russia. For 42 years, Peter worked to make Russia more modern and more European.
Soon after, Sophia was overthrown, and Peter was considered by most to be the real tsar, though he allowed his brother to keep his official position. In 1682, 10-year-old Peter the Great and his older brother, Ivan, both became tsar (though Peter’s aunt and Ivan’s mother, Sophia, was in charge). In the 1550s, Muscovite ruler Ivan IV became Russia's first tsar, or emperor, after driving the Mongols out of Kiev and unifying the region. Muscovy's capital, Moscow, remained a small trading post until the 13th century, when Mongol invaders from central Asia drove people to settle in Moscow. Kiev evolved into an empire that ruled most of European Russia for 200 years, then broke up into Ukraine, Belarus, and Muscovy. These settlers mixed with Slavs from the west and built a fortress that would eventually become the Ukrainian city of Kiev. 500, as Scandinavians (what is now Norway, Denmark, and Sweden) moved south to areas around the upper Volga River.
