Ivan IV is the most obvious choice. He made more expansion than any Russian Tsar, was also the first to be called Tsar and was considered the greatest Russian Tsar until Peter I. Peter could have been a choice that the developers considered but his main contribution was making Russia more European and so Ivan IV represented Russia far better.

Also I don't know about Alexander Suverov defeating Frederick the Great in the Seven Years War. After all Prussia won that war in the end.
