This is a list of Russian monarchs. The list begins with the semi-legendary prince Rurik of Novgorod, sometime in the mid-9th century, and ends with Nicholas II, who abdicated in 1917, and was murdered with his family in 1918. Two dynasties have ruled Russia: the Rurikids (862–1598) and Romanovs (1613–1917).
