Abstract: The article is devoted to the historical term “Autocracy” in the interpretation of Professor P.E. Kazansky, as an independent, non-derivative, having the only basis in the will of God itself, and therefore in earthly reality, which was the dominant force in the state. This force is not only legally supreme, but also, in fact, socially the strongest, without which domination would be impossible. In his concept, Professor P.E. Kazansky argues that the autocrat was not only a legal sovereign, as he possessed the rights of supreme power legally enshrined in the Basic Laws of the state, but was also a de facto sovereign, who historically possessed the dominant force in society.
