Biography
Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov is one of Rus rulers, asking for the throne in 1613. Mikhail Romanov is the first king from the Romanov dynasty, which later gave the country a lot of sovereigns, including the window opener to Europe I, who stopped the seven-year war of her husband Ekaterina II, Peter III, who abolished the serfdom of Alexander II and many others. Although the sake of fairness should be said that not all of the reign genealogical trees of Romanov were descendants of Mikhail Fedorovich in the blood.
The future king Mikhail Romanov, whose biography takes up from 1596, was born in the family of Boyarina Fedor Nikitich and his wife Ksenia Ivanovna. It was the father that was a relatively close relative of the last king from the Rurikovsky dynasty, Fedor John. But since the senior novels along the circumstances stood up on the spiritual path and turned into the Patriarch of Filaret, then the throne of the branch of the Romanovs through him was no longer any speech.
This was facilitated by the following circumstances. Under the reign of Boris Godunov, a denominant was written to the family of Romanov, who "obded" Nikita Romanova, the grandfather of the future king Mikhail Fedorovich Romanova, in witchcraft and desire to kill Godunov and his family. The immediate arrest of all male persecution followed, the magnitude forced kneading to the monks and the link to Siberia, where almost all family members were killed. When Lhadmitry I climbed the throne, he ordered to pardon the exiled boyars, including the Romanovs. By that time, only Patriarch Filaret with his wife and son, as well as his brother Ivan Nikitich, were able to return.
The further biography of Mikhail Romanov briefly was connected with the town of Wedge, which now belongs to the Vladimir region. When Semiboyarschina came to power in Russia, the family lived in Moscow for a couple of years, and later, during the Russian-Polish war of troubled time, shelled from the persecution of Polish-Lithuanian detachments in the Ipatiev Monastery in Kostroma.
The kingdom of Mikhail Romanov
The election of Mikhail Romanov to the kingdom was possible thanks to the unification of Moscow simple people with Velikorvsky Cossacks. The nobility was going to give the throne to the king of England and Scotland Yakov I, but the Cossacks did not suit. The fact is that they are not without reason fear that foreign rulers will take the territory from them, and in addition, it will reduce the size of the bread content. As a result, the Zemsky Cathedral chose the throne of the nearest relative of the last Russian king, which was the 16-year-old Mikhail Romanov.
It should be noted that neither he himself nor his mother was originally the idea of the Moscow reign, realizing what a heavy burden. But ambassadors Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov briefly explained why his consent is so important, and the young man left the capital. On the way, he stayed in all major cities, for example, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Suzdal, Rostov. In Moscow, he directly headed through the Red Square to the Kremlin and the Spasskit Gate was solemnly greeted by the delightful people. After the coronation, or as then they said - weddings to the kingdom, the royal dynasty of Mikhail Romanov began, which ruled Russia over the next three hundred years and brought it among the great powers of the world.
Board Mikhail Romanov
Since Mikhail Fedorovich Romanova's Board began when he was only 16 years old, talking about some kind of experience the king is not necessary. Moreover, he was not brought up with an eye on the management of the state and, according to rumors, the young king was hardly able to read. Therefore, in the early years of Mikhail Romanova, the policy depended more from the decisions of the Zemsky Cathedral. When his father, Patriarch Filaret returned to Moscow, he became actual, although not a clear, co-guarantee, suggesting, aiming and affecting the policy of Mikhail Fedorovich Romanova. State letters of that time were written on behalf of the king and the patriarch.
Mikhail Romanov's foreign policy was aimed at stopping ruinous wars with Western countries. He stopped bloodshed with Swedish and Polish troops, although, at the expense of the loss of some part of the territory, including the exit to the Baltic Sea. Actually, because of these territories, after many years, Peter I will participate in the Northern War.

He managed to bring harmony to a secular and spiritual society, restore agriculture and trade destroyed in the troubled time, to establish the first plants in the country, to transform the tax system depending on the size of the land.

By the end of his rule, the consequences of the vague time were eliminated and the conditions for the future of the heyday of Russia were created. By the way, it was with Mikhail Fedorovich in Moscow a German Sloboda appeared in Moscow, which will play such an important role in the reforms of Peter I Great.
