| | Aleksey I of Russia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Aleksey, Aleksey Mikhailovich Romanov (March 9, 1629 (O.S.) - January 29, 1676 (O.S.)) was Tsar of Muscovy (modern-day Russia). |
 | | By the truce of Andrusovo (February 11, 1667) Vitebsk, Polotsk and Polish Livonia were restored to Poland, but the infinitely more important Smolensk and Kiev remained in the hands of Russia together with the whole eastern bank of the Dnepr River. |
 | | This truce was the achievement of Athanasy Orduin-Nashchokin, the first Russian chancellor and diplomat in the modern sense, who after the disgrace of Nikon became the Tsar's first minister till 1670, when he was superseded by the equally able Artamon Matvyeev, whose beneficent influence prevailed to the end of Aleksey's reign. |
