17th Century. Feodor Romanov and the First Turkish War.
1676. After the sudden death of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, his son, 15-year-old Feodor, ascends the throne. The young tsar is in very poor health, but he proves to be an active and progressive man.
His subjects will quickly sense this. Feodor Alexeevich will channel his energy into all areas of life. In six years, he will accomplish what few tsars can: rewrite laws, wage war, and rebuild Moscow.
After watching this episode, you will learn: how Feodor Alexeevich, even before Peter the Great, opened a window to Europe for Russia? Why did he plant palm trees and breed parrots in the Kremlin? And how did he resolve the acute "southern" military conflict?
This and much more is covered in this episode of the "Russian History" project.
