		While no one liked these project consequences, not even the czar, he was concerned that the potential code problems would be worse than the current project problems if he relinquished some of his controls.
		The czar was capable of being a major contributor to the project and the organization, but the way he contributed undermined his co-workers' self-confidence and productivity.
		The czar on my project required a lot of time and energy to convert to a contributing team member, but not every czar requires this investment from a project manager.

		; often spelled Czar or Tzar and sometimes Csar or Zar in English), was the title used for the autocratic rulers of the First and Second Bulgarian Empires since 913, in Serbia in the middle of the 14th century, and in Russia from 1547 to 1917 (although this usage is only technically correct until 1721).
		The spelling czar originated with the Austrian diplomat Baron Sigismund von Herberstein, whose Rerum Moscoviticarum Commentarii (1549) (literally Notes on Muscovite Affairs) was the main source of knowledge of Russia in early modern western Europe.
		Modern usage seems to have standardized on the use of tsar to describe former rulers of Russia, while czar is used to informally describe an expert in charge of implementing policy (especially in the US): economics czar, drug czar, et cetera.

		And while landlords might at least take care of their serfs to avoid losing a valuable investment, the Czars were rich enough to freely spend the lives they owned.
		The Czar's earliest conquests passed almost unnoticed: the Ukrainians and so-called "White Russians" (not to be confused with the pro-czarist forces during the Russian Civil War), although under Russian domination for centuries, were distinct ethnicities who struggled fiercely to retain their culture and way of life.

	HERMENAUT: Atlas Against the Czar
		Later in Atlas against the Czar, Maciste is immobilized again by means of a drug that causes a deathlike sleep (the heroine manages to obtain an antidote from a wise man living in a cave).
		In seeking to secure the ideological commitment of Maciste, the czar and the rebels are seeking, pathetically, to persuade the audience that their goals and struggles matter.
		The director of Atlas against the Czar, Amerigo Anton (pseudonym for Tanio Boccia), is far from being a stylist on the level of Riccardo Freda or Vittorio Cottafavi (two masters of the peplum); as an unpretentious director of undemanding action cinema, he falls somewhere short of Alberto de Martino and Sergio Grieco.

		Generally the "Czar" idea is useless because it is asking one person to solve the problems of many all with the wave of their magic wand.
		And the best way to do that is make him a 'de-regulation czar' who helps nurture and promote new frontier industries by tearing up the regulations and promising that the state will stay the phuk out of their business.
