Summary

Sophia Alekseyevna, a prominent figure in Russian history, defied conventional norms by becoming the regent for two tsars, leveraging her intelligence and character. Her reign faced challenges, including unsuccessful military expeditions under Vasily Golitsyn, which weakened her position. Ultimately, she was sidelined by Peter the Great and imprisoned in the Novodevichy Convent, where she attempted but failed to regain power. This study examines Sophia's historical significance, contrasting her with other influential women in Russian history such as Zoe Palaiologina and Marina Mniszech, highlighting her unique role in breaking from traditional expectations.
