Boyarism

/bɔɪˈɑːrɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The political system, ideology, or practices characteristic of boyar rule and influence in Russian history.

Etymology

From boyar combined with the suffix -ism, which denotes a system of belief, governance, or practice. The term describes the distinctive feudal and aristocratic system that dominated pre-Petrine Russia.

Kelly Says

Boyarism was so rigid that Peter the Great had to go against his own father's traditions and forcibly westernize Russia to break the boyars' stranglehold on power—a reminder that sometimes progress requires revolutionary change.
