Etymology

The English plural of czarist (the noun), formed by adding -s to refer to multiple supporters of czarist systems.

Kelly Says

During the Russian Revolution, czarists were the political enemies of the Bolsheviks, and 'the czarists' became a shorthand for the entire old guard opposing revolution—showing how a grammatical plural form became loaded with historical and political meaning.
