What was Peter the Greats title in Russia?

Peter the Great held the title of Emperor of All the Russias (in Russian, Император Всероссийский). He formally adopted this title in 1721 after his victory in the Great Northern War, which secured Russia's dominance in the Baltic Sea.

It's important to note that the title "Emperor of All the Russias" is different from the earlier title of "Tsar of All the Russias." While both titles indicate supreme power in Russia, the term "Emperor" carries a greater weight and prestige, reflecting Peter's ambition to elevate Russia to the status of a major European power.
