Sophia Alekseyevna (Russian: ??´??? ??????´????, IPA: ['sof??j? ?l??'ks?ej?vn?]; 27 September [O.S.
17 September] 1657 – 14 July [O.S.
3 July] 1704) ruled as regent of Russia from 1682 to 1689.
She allied herself with a singularly capable courtier and politician, Prince Vasily Golitsyn, to install herself during the minority of her brother Ivan V and half-brother Peter I.
She carried out her regency with a firm hand.
The activity of this "bogatyr-tsarevna" (as Sergey Solovyov called her) was all the more extraordinary, as upper-class Muscovite women, confined to the upper-floor terem and veiled and guarded in public, invariably were kept aloof from any open involvement in politics.
