Она хотела любви, а получила монастырь: запретная жизнь царевны Софьи Алексеевны

She was wiser than many men of her time. She ruled Russia for seven years in place of her two young brothers. The first woman in Russian history to almost become an autocrat. Peter the Great did everything he could to erase her name from official history. He ordered her portraits burned, documents about her reign destroyed, and her forced monastic tonsure. He executed her supporters right under the windows of her cell. But it didn't help. Because Princess Sophia is impossible to forget. She burst into power too flamboyantly, too boldly, too masculinely. #history #women'shistory #biography ___________ 00:00 — Who will rule? 00:49 — It all starts here.
