  Tsar Bomba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Tsar Bomba (Russian for "King of the Bombs"; During its development the bomb was actually nicknamed Ivan) was the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated.
Tsar Bomba was designed and constructed in only 14 weeks after Soviet premier Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev initiated the project on July 10, 1961.
Tsar Bomba was detonated on October 30, 1961, at a height of 4000 metres over Novaya Zemlya Island in the Arctic Sea; it was dropped from a Tu-95 bomber at 10,500 metres altitude by pilot A. Durnovtsev.

The Tsar Bomba was too large to fit entirely within the bomb bay of the largest Soviet bomber of the day.
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).

 Tsar Encyclopedia Article @ Coldly.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The term "tsar" was used once by Church officials of Kievan Rus in the naming of Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev.
Since the word "tsar" remained the popular designation of the Russian ruler despite the official change of style, its transliteration of this title in foreign languages such as English is commonly used also, in fact chiefly, for the Russian Emperors up to 1917.
Mogul, Tsar or Czar has been used as a metaphor for positions of high authority, in English since 1866 (referring to U.S. President Andrew Johnson), with a connotation of dictatorial powers and style, fitting since "Autocrat" was an official title of the Russian Emperor (informally referred to as 'the Czar').

Tsar Kolokol (Russian: Царь–колокол, literally "Tsar bell") 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 thermonuclear bomb, or the Tsar Tank, a monumentally huge and unwieldy tank) as a show of prowess or power.

Tsar Bomba was designed and constructed in only 14 weeks after Soviet premier Nikita Khruschev initiated the project on July 10, 1961.
The bomb itself weighed 27 metric tons and was 8 meters long by 2 meters wide; a special parachute had to be designed to allow it to be dropped from an airplane.

 Tsar Bomba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Tsar Bomba (Russian: Царь-бомба, literally "Tsar Bomb"), developed by the Soviet Union, is the largest nuclear explosive ever detonated, and the most powerful device ever employed by humans.
Nicknamed "Ivan" during its development, the Tsar Bomba was not intended for use in warfare, but was primarily an instance of the Cold war-era saber-rattling indulged in by the USSR and the USA.
The Tsar Bomba was the culmination of a series of extremely high-yield thermonuclear weapons designed by the USA (e.g., the Mark-17 and B41) and USSR during the 1950s.

 Tsar
The impression that the title of tsar is equivalent to king or otherwise an intermediate position between king and emperor is a common misconception shared even by many modern Slavic speakers, especially by non-specialists writing in foreign languages.

Tsar (Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian цар, Russian, in scientific transliteration respectively car and car'), often spelled Czar or Tzar and sometimes Csar or Zar in English, is a Slavonic term for a monarch.
Some of the earliest attested occurrences of the contraction "tsar" (car') from "tsesar" (cěsar') are found in the grave inscription of the čărgubil (ičirgu-boila) Mostič, a contemporary of Simeon I and Peter I, from Preslav.
The title tsar remained in common usage, and also officially as the designator of various titles signifying rule over various states absorbed by the Muscovite monarchy (such as the former Mongol khanates and the Georgian Orthodox kingdom).

 Nuclear weapon yield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some exact yield estimates, such as that of the Tsar Bomba and the tests by India and Pakistan in 1998, are somewhat contested among specialists.
Other disputed yields have included the massive Tsar Bomba, whose yield was claimed between being "only" 50 Mt or at a maximum of 57 Mt by differing political figures, either as a way for hyping the power of the bomb or as an attempt to undercut it.
Nuclear testing yields, as in the Tsar Bomba example, can also be used as a way of reflecting upon technical expertise, and claiming higher yields or accusations of lower yields can be used as a way of promoting or disparaging the technical abilities of a nuclear program.
