EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Russian history, depicting Sofya, Peter the Great's half-sister and regent during his youth, showing favor to the Streltsi, the palace bodyguard, in 1682. The Streltsi, known for their distinctive blue coats and fur hats, were an integral part of the Russian military and held significant power in the court. Sofya's patronage of the Streltsi was a strategic move to maintain her influence during Peter's minority. However, their growing power and excesses began to alarm the young Peter, who would later deal with them in a series of events that would shape the course of Russian history. Peter, determined to modernize Russia and assert his authority, saw the Streltsi as a threat to his vision for the country. In 1698, he ordered the infamous Streltsy Uprising to be put down, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Streltsi. This marked the end of their power and influence in Russian politics. The photograph, taken from an original 17th-century painting, offers a glimpse into a complex period of Russian history. The image of Sofya and the Streltsi highlights the delicate balance of power in the court and the challenges faced by Peter as he worked to assert his authority and modernize Russia. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history and complex political landscape of Russia during this time.
