Not quite the same - Grossherzog vs. Grossfürst

The continental Grand Dukes of Luxembourg, Baden, etc., are not quite the same title as the Russian Grand Dukes.

Indeed, Grand Duke is a bad translation of "Velikiy Kniaz (Великий Князь

", because the term "Kniaz" is otherwise translated as "Prince" from Russian.

In German, the term "Grossfürst" is used for the Russians
