Tsar Pushka (Russian: Царь-пушка, literally "Tsar-cannon") is an enormous cannon, commissioned in 1586 by Russian Tsar Feodor and cast by Andrey Chokhov. The cannon weighs nearly 38 metric tonnes and has a length of 5.34 meters (17.5 feet), a calibre of 890 mm (35 inches), and an external diameter of 1200 mm (41 inches). The Guinness Book of Records lists it as the largest howitzer ever made. During the Time of Troubles, when the burned body of the False Dmitri was fired from a cannon back to Poland, it with a similar piece.
