...I don't really think the word 'czar' originally comes from Russian.
The ethymologic dictionary I usually use reports the origin of this word from CAESAR (which would come from the gotic term KAISAR). Czar is the title the emperor Ivan IV assumed in 1547. And in 917 so did also Simeon, Emperor of Bulgaria (bulg. car).
I am not writing this with a polemic attitude!
Успехи!
Ale

This isn't widely known but the word "pogrom" comes form the Russian "pogromit'" which means to destroy.
On a slightly irrelevant yet interesting note the Russian word for station "vokzal" comes from the English station "Vauxhall"
I believe the place "Balaklava" may stem from the Tatar word for fish "balik".
