| @davidr Mikhail I is written as such because after Nikolai II abdicated the throne both on his behalf and on his son's, his younger brother Mikhail is generally considered to be his successor. However, Mikhail didn't want the position and, no doubt influenced by the Russian Civil War at the time, abdicated also. There is no hard and fast rule about whether he should be counted or not, but he "ruled" for roughly one day. Ended up getting shot too if I remember correctly. |
