The FIRST woman to ever rule Russia. Princess Sophia was Regent of Russia during the minority of her brother Ivan V and half-brother Peter I. In fact, she was the first Russian woman to participate in ruling the country. The only description of Sophia’s physical appearance was left by her contemporary, a French diplomat Foy de la Neuville.
Indeed, Tsarevna (Princess) Sophia (1657-1704), daughter of Tsar Alexis (1629-1676) left a meaningful legacy in Russian history. In the 17th century, when women, even the nobler ones, were totally banned from political and social life, she was at the head of the state for seven years. Much later, Catherine the Great of Russia would write: “To do ...
Sophia, apparently, led a lush life behind the throne. In 1688, she ordered from Hamburg “two hats with ostrich feathers, two round mirrors in a tortoiseshell frame, tortoiseshell boxes, fans, ribbons...” It was during this period when her portrait inside a two-headed eagle, Sophia holding sceptre and orb, was created.
In fact, in 1689, when de la Neuville saw her, she was just 32. However, “her intelligence and virtues do not bear the imprint of the ugliness of her body, for as much as her waist is short, wide and rough, so her mind is thin, shrewd and skillful,” de la Neuville wrote.
However, Sophia herself had to return to religious practices, as eventually, she was confined to a monastery – a popular practice of removing royal women from social and political life in the 17th century.
In 1676, Tsar Alexey died. He was succeeded by his son Feodor Alexeevich (1661-1682), who had very weak health. When Feodor died at just 21, a clash of the ruling clans followed.
It’s hard to determine whether Sophia personally took real action in government matters. Until 1686, her name didn’t even appear alongside Tsars Ivan and Peter in official documents. Still, under Golitsyn, who was the head of Moscow Tsardom’s foreign affairs since 1682, Russia led a successful foreign policy.
Alexander Kerensky is often portrayed in films and TV series. In the 1971 epic historical drama film Nicholas and Alexandra, he was played by John McEnery. In the 2019 series The Last Czars, he was portrayed by Kestutis Cicenas.
Described by The Wall Street Journal as the man Vladimir Putin fears most, Alexei Navalny is widely regarded as Russia' s opposition leader. He is famous for his accusations of corruption in Russia and Putin's government. In 2011, he created the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which was dissolved in 2020. In August 2020, there was an attempt to assassinate him, when he was poisoned during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow.
Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, has also been the prime minister and president of Russia. Born to teacher parents, he was an intelligent child and began studying his father’s encyclopedia in third grade. He is known for his support of the nuclear disarmament treaty.
Soviet lawyer, diplomat, and KGB chief Vladimir Kryuchkov is best remembered for his involvement in the 1991 coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. Born to working-class Stalin-supporting parents, he initially worked with the Communist Youth League. He misinterpreted the Able Archer 83 conflict simulation as the beginning of a nuclear attack.
