	Alexius Mikhailovich - LoveToKnow 1911
		ALEXIUS MIKHAILOVICH (1629-1676), tsar of Muscovy, the son of Tsar Michael Romanov and Eudoxia Stryeshnevaya, was born on the 9th of March 1629.
		The successful issue of the Moscow riots was the occasion of disquieting disturbances all over the tsardom culminating in dangerous rebellions at Pskov and Great Novgorod, with which the government was so unable to cope that they surrendered, practically granting the malcontents their own terms.
		On the 1st of October 1653 a national assembly met at Moscow to sanction the war and find the means of carrying it on, and in April 1654 the army was blessed by Nikon (now patriarch).

		Jaroslav the Wise, son and successor of Volodymyr, provided for the election of the first indigenous metropolitan, Hilarion, in 1050, establishing by this act the autonomy of the Ruthenian or Ukrainian Church in the Kievan metropolitanate from the political and ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Byzantium.

		But it was not until the Union of Brest-Litovsk in 1596 that Metropolitan Rahoza of Kiev and his suffragan bishops gathered in synod could clearly express the muted desire of the Ukrainian people to cement their communion with the See of Peter.

		From 1966 until 1991, he was a Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) under the Moscow Patriarchy.
		After losing the 1990 election for the Patriarch of Moscow to Metropolitan Alexius (Alexey Ridiger) of Saint Petersburg and Novgorod (who became enthroned as Patriarch Alexius II), disgruntled Filaret initiated the creation of a new Ukrainian Church through the separation of the ROC's Ukrainian Metropolitan's Episcopal see from the Moscow Patriarchy.
		However, due to the History of Christianity in Ukraine, as well as controversies surrounding his personality (including rumors that reached the press about Filaret having been recruited in the past as a KGB agent code-named "Antonov"), he was not able to become the formal leader of the church until 1995.

		The oprichniki, as being the exclusive favourites of the tsar, naturally, in their own interests, hardened the tsar's heart against all outsiders, and trampled with impunity upon every one beyond the charmed circle.
