Zмета_на [🇮🇱🪓] :
It's because of the adoption of Byzantine Orthodox Christianity, which became the main religion of the Russian Empire. Hope this helps 👍🏻.

It has everything to do with them, the russian empire is the roman empire atleast according to their eyes. They are the natural successor to rome once again in their view

The double eagle is an orthodox symbol in greece, and since greece converted russia and had allot to do with eachother back in the day the eagle also got adapted, nothing really odd or weird about it

Bro, it’s a double headed eagle, like the Habsburg Eagle. One head for imperial, one head for royal. Tons of counties across Europe have used it to signify being an Empire

The symbol in the middle is the crest of Muscovy so it has significance to Russians

It's actually due orthodox Christianity, which came from Byzantine. This should be a common knowledge considering that a lot of other countries did this too 🥀

Russia as an empire has alot to do with Byzantium though they didn’t just pick it to Larp they descended from sophia palaiologina she was the niece of the emperor Constantine XI and when Byzantium fell they became the defenders of the orthodox faith they didn’t pick Roman aesthetic cause they thought it was cool they believed themselves to be the Roman Empire in the east just as the hre saw themselves as the continuation of the Roman Empire in the west

Mr. Butter :
they wanted to be called Third Rome. As Contantinopole was second, and they were also home of Ortodox church.
