Quietest

It is my first envelope devoted to "the 400 anniversary of House of Romanovs". On an envelope portrait of the "quietest" tsar Alexey Mikhaylovich. This quietest tsar, Peter's I father, arranged cruel persecution on conservatives. It burned the known spiritual instructor of protopriest Avvakum alive, and the boyar to Morozov and her sister the princess Urusova threw in a dungeon where absolutely there was no sunlight. Urusova died, and her sister continued to live near a decomposing body of her sister. At its board, Russia was flooded by foreigners, and Peter I only continued business of the father.
