The term 'Russian Reactionary' refers to a person who supported the Tsarist regime in Russia. The Tsar was the absolute monarch of Russia from 1721 until the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Tsar was the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and had complete control over the government, military, and economy. The Tsarists were opposed to any form of democracy or reform and sought to maintain the status quo. They were often seen as oppressive and reactionary, and their policies led to the eventual downfall of the Tsarist regime.
