  Artamon Matveev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artamon Sergeyevich Matveyev (Артамон Сергеевич Матвеев in Russian) (1625 - 1682) was a Russian statesman, diplomat and reformer.
In 1671, the tsar Alexius I and Artamon were already on intimate terms, and, on the retirement of Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin, Matveyev became the tsar's chief counselor.
His son Andrey Matveev was made a count and served as the first President of Justice Collegium.

 Moscow Uprising of 1682 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miloslavsky conspirators stirred up riots in the streets of the capital.
They used the discontent of the Moscow regiments against their commanding officers and on 11 May 1682 the mob of the Streltsy took over the Kremlin and lynched the leading boyars and military commanders whom they suspected of corruption — Artamon Matveev, Mikhail Dolgorukov, and Grigory Romodanovsky.
Few days later, on 17 May, the rebels once again stormed the royal residence and killed a number of Naryshkin supporters, including two of the Naryshkin brothers (Kirill and Ivan) in the presence of the young tsar Peter, their nephew.

For example, the two sisters Hamilton, who lived in the Nemetskaia Sloboda (Moscow), married Russians, one the Tsar’s favorite and chief Boyar, Artamon Sergeevich Matveev (1625–1682), and the other Fedor Poluektovich Naryshkin.
The Scottish wife of Matveev brought up and educated Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina according to the free manners of the Scots, allowing her to receive male visitors, a practice quite horrible to those accustomed to the cloistered seclusion of women.
But on 21st January 1672, Tsar Aleksei Michailovich Romanov wedded Natalia Naryshkina, and she became mother of Peter the Great.

 Russia in the Age of Peter the Great
There on 15-17 May, the strel'tsy settled personal grudges by butchering commanding officers and unpopular officials, and, at the instigation of the Naryshkins' rivals, singled out members of the Naryshkin clan and their associates as `traitors', and slaughtered them.
The victims included Peter's uncle, Ivan Naryshkin (who was accused of trying on the crown), and his mother's guardian, the former foreign minister Artamon Matveev, who was accused of plotting to murder Ivan.
In all, about forty persons fell victim to axe and pike.
