Dear Sarmata, my 'ziomal' from Poland,

Czar Paul the first let Kosciuszko go out out from the Petersbusrg prison, if he forgot about Polish's liberty. But he wasn't a good ruler. One of this czars, who were killed by their own family members.

I vote for Iwan III Kalita(?), a man who united Russian countries( under Moscow hegemony) during his whole life. However, he was'nt czar, but he was a very good Moscovian ruler.

With a slim lead, Peter the Great beats Stalin. Stalin mainly lost because he had a fetish for killing people - lots of them. He, like Peter, put Russia back on the figurative "map", and made Russia into a world power (again). Of course, when you weigh Stalin's wins versus his losses, it's almost a 1-1 ratio, depending on how you view his slaughtering of people habbits.

Alexander II since he freed millions (icluding my family) and had he not been ruthlessly murdered might have eveniven us a constitution.

Putin is great... u can't have a dreamy eyed anti-corruption nut running the place, with dreams of salads and sun for all.

He's got balls to take on the bad guys.

I would also say Peter (Piotr) I.

Demon, Stalin wasn't Russian, he was a Georgian living in the Soviet Union.

   Of all the Russian leaders, I'd also pick Czar Peter.  Despite what still remained to be done, he did make a great effort to bring Russia out of the Dark Ages in which it seemed trapped.  Before him, they really didn't have anything approaching what was contemporary for most European countries at the time.  His legacies included both artistic and military advances which put it on par with many of its rivals, a reorganization of the old system of government (incomplete, though it was) and the dominion of most of Asia (including certain nomads who had once terrorized the Czar's ancestors).

Going a little farther back, Im the most fond of Vladimir I. His baptism brought Russia more into the mainstream and gave the Russian(Kieven) people a sense of unity and from Russian Orthodoxy came Some of the most beautifull Icons ever created. Although his final decision wasn't made with the most pious of intentions, it is quite fascinating how he went about making it.
