Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (In Russian Алексей Михаилович Романов) (March 9, 1629 (O.S.) - January 29, 1676 (O.S.)) was a Tsar of Russia during some of the most eventful decades of the mid-17th century.
Alexei's first marriage to Miloslavskaya was a success, and she bore him thirteen children in twenty-one years of marriage: five sons and eight daughters, and died in her fourteenth childbirth.
Grigory Kotoshikhin's On Russia during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich (1665) is a key source on domestic life of the tsar and his court.

Czar Alexei Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great, is believed to have been the author of the first white-blue-and-red tricolor in 1668.
An English captain, engaged to command the first naval protection vessel in the Russian fleet, asked the czar to choose a flag, because, he told Alexei, all states have flags, and if Russia, which wasn't flying anything at the time, was a state, it had to have one.
Alexei studied the flags of other countries; picked a variation by changing the order of the colors; and hoisted it on what was then a tiny navy for the Volga River and the Caspian Sea.

 Russia Marking Security-Service Operative Day
However, a system for guarding Russian princes, grand dukes and tsars was based on tradition and precedents until the mid-17th century, rather than a solid normative-legal base.
The normative-legal base of Russia's secret services was first formalized in tsar Alexei Mikhailovich's 1649 code of laws.
(Alexei Mikhailovich ascended the Russian throne in 1645 - Ed.) The Russian empire's state security was subsequently ensured by the Preobrazhensky prikaz (department), Peter the Great's Secret Office, as well as the Third Imperial Office Department under emperors Nicholas I and Alexander II.

The other two major events of Alexei's reign were the Polish War and the Stenka Razin revolt.
In 1651 the Metropolitan Nikon became Alexei's main advisor in matters spritual and temporal, not a strange arrangement given Tsar Mikhail's close working relationship with Patriarch Filaret.

By finding what he perceived to be the ethnic and zoomorphic roots in his native language, he transformed it into a completely plastic and sonic thing.

 Catholic World News : Ecumenical Gambit
The Vatican believes that a "summit meeting" between John Paul II and Alexei might produce an ecumenical breakthrough, but once again the Orthodox leadership is adamant: no such meeting can take place until the ecumenical situation improves.
In his Corriere della Sera interview, Patriarch Alexei described proselytism as "an indecent pursuit of momentary advantages, with regrettable consequences for the truth and the good news of Christ." He added: "Unfortunately, we often meet with this attitude among the Catholic clergy and monks" in Russia.
Bishop Renato Boccardo, another member of the Vatican delegation, confirmed that the warm reception by Patriarch Alexei and other members of the Russian Orthodox hierarchy had shown that the Pope's gesture was "welcomed and appreciated," and could eventually lead to further progress in ecumenical relations.

Reining in the unruly holiday has proved a chore; Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich tried to ban fistfights, games of chance, and, curiously, swinging on swings.

As Alexei goes about this lugubrious business, events take an increasingly fantastical, comic, and harrowing turn, leading to Alexei’s imprisonment and the dwindling hope of his ever leaving Karaganda.
