At the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian Empire extended from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Black Sea on the south, from the Baltic Sea on the west to the Pacific Ocean, and (until 1867) into Alaska in North America on the east. With 125.6 million subjects registered by the 1897 census, it had the third largest population in the world at the time, after Qing China and the British Empire. Like all empires, it included a large disparity in terms of economics, ethnicity, and religion. There were numerous dissident elements, who launched numerous rebellions and assassination attempts; they were closely watched by the secret police, with thousands exiled to Siberia.
Bakov has declared the Imperial Throne to be the successor to the historical Russian Empire that ceased to exist in 1917. The Imperial Throne also claims the right to maritime territories that were either claimed by the Russian Empire or discovered by the Imperial Russian Navy but never absorbed into the Soviet Union. The 17 claimed territories include the entire continent of Antarctica as well as land currently under the jurisdiction of Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other nations.
The Imperial Throne has no established territory or sovereign status beyond its own claims. In 2014, Bakov announced he had purchased land in Montenegro and plans to set up a government-in-exile.
The coat of arms of the Russian Federation derives from the earlier coat of arms of the Russian Empire which was abolished with the Russian Revolution in 1917 and restored in 1993 after the constitutional crisis. Though modified more than once since the reign of Ivan III (1462–1505), the current coat of arms is directly derived from its mediaeval original, with the double-headed eagle having Byzantine and earlier antecedents from long before the emergence of any Russian state. The general tincture corresponds to the early fifteenth-century standard . The shape of the eagle can be traced back to the reign of Peter the Great (1682–1725), although the eagle charge on the present coat of arms is golden rather than the traditional, imperial black.
Description and usage
The two main elements of Russian state symbols (the two-headed eagle and the mounted figure slaying the dragon) predate Peter the Great. Today, however, the official description does not refer to the rider on the central shield as representing Saint George, mainly in order to maintain the secular character of the modern Russian state.

The Tsars: Expansion of the Russian Empire | Russia's Wars Ep.1 | Documentary
Russia is characterized by powerful personalities and significant conflicts. Power struggles and legendary battles have been part of Russian history, such as the wars of the tsars.
The early wars of the tsars, Peter the Great with his first great victories, Catherine the Great and her expansionist policies as well as the devastating consequences of Napoleon's campaign against Russia are the central themes of this documentary. Brutal tactics, political intrigues and tireless endeavors made Russia a great power. The revolution that ended the Tsarist Empire and paved the way for the Soviet Union is another focal point of Russian history.

However, just a few centuries earlier, a recognisable Russian state did not even exist. Amongst the patchwork of warring principalities and dukedoms that made up the region, emerged the first glimpses of a nation that through the ambitions and endeavours of Cossacks and Tsars alike, would rise to become largest nation on earth.
