tsar vs Tsar

[Jolanta Davis]

Dear SEELANGers,

I probably should know this, but I don't and I can't find any definite
reference to this question:
--should the word "tsar" be capitalized? how about "tsarist government" or
"tsarist Russia"?

 From what I see in the Chicago Manual of Style it doesn't need to be
capitalized, but maybe the Slavic community has its own rules?

thanks
Jolanta
