	Tsar Kolokol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsar Kolokol (Russian: Царь–колокол, literally "Tsar of bells") is a huge bell still on display in the Moscow Kremlin.
		In 1836, Tsar Kolokol was placed on a stand next to the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in the Kremlin.
		The word 'Tsar' in Tsar Kolokol potentially refers to the supposedly common Russian practice of constructing absurdly large objects of various design (such as Tsar Bomba, the world's largest nuclear bomb, or the Tsar Tank, a monumentally huge and unwieldy tank) as a show of prowess or power.

	Tsar Bomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Tsar Bomba" harkens to the historical Russian practice of building impractically large things as shows of power or prowess, e.g., a massive bell (Tsar Kolokol), the world's largest cannon (Tsar Pushka), and the unwieldy Tsar Tank.
		The Tsar Bomba was the culmination of a series of very high-yield thermonuclear weapons designed by the USSR and USA (e.g., the Mark-17[3] and B41) during the 1950s.
		Soviets restarted their tests two months before Tsar Bomba, and there was no de-jure moratorium in place at the time (the USA had already announced that it considered itself free to resume testing after further notice).

		The former church of this name was erected in 1326 by the tsar, Ivan Kalita, but, on its falling into disrepair, a new one was built on the same place in 1475-1479, by the Bolognese architect, Fioraventi, in the Lombardo-Byzantine style, with Indian cupolas.
		The Voznesensky convent, erected in 1389-1393, and restored in the end of the 19th century, is the burial-place of wives and sisters of the tsars.
		The peasants, who settled on their lands, or on the estates which the prince bestowed upon his boyars, had become serfs; and the political tendency of the boyars, supported by the wealthier middle classes (which had also a rapid development in the same century), was to become rulers of Russia, like the noblesse of Poland.

		This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion tamper of the teritiary (and probably secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one made of lead to eliminate fast fission by the fusion neutrons.
		The nickname Tsar Bomba is a reference to the Russian proclivity for making gigantic but useless artifacts for show.
		The world's largest bell (the Tsar Kolokol) and cannon (the Tsar Pushka), neither of which are actually useful for anything, are on display at the Kremlin.

		The Tsar Bomba was too large to fit entirely within the bomb bay of the Tu-95, the largest Soviet bomber of the day.
		Codenamed "Ivan" during its development, the Tsar Bomba was not intended for use in warfare, but should be seen as an instance of the Cold War-era saber-rattling indulged in by the USSR and the USA.

		The Tsar Kolokol is near the Tsar Pushka.
		Tsar Ivan and son had a not-so-good relationship, and during one of their disputes over the treatment of the son's wife (Ivan had challenged her dress and beat her so badly that she suffered a miscarriage), Ivan struck his son with his staff on the head; the son died a few days later.

		A possibly apocryphal story has it that the fabrication of this parachute required so much raw nylon that the small Soviet nylon hosiery industry was noticeably disrupted.
