Around 1605-80
A Russian aristocrat and diplomat. Born into a noble family in Pskov, he later demonstrated outstanding diplomatic skills, became head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was ranked as an aristocrat. Furthermore, as a collaborator of Tsar Alexei Romanov, he promoted reforms such as the introduction of conscription and the establishment of new commercial regulations. These reforms by him are considered to be the precursors of Peter the Great's later policy of Westernization. [Dohi Tsuneyuki]
