===Russia=== {{Unreferenced section|date=July 2022}} Following the death of Tsar [[Feodor III of Russia]] in 1682, his brother [[Ivan V of Russia|Ivan]] and half-brother [[Peter the Great|Peter]] were both crowned autocrats of Russia. This compromise was necessary because Ivan was unfit to rule due to physical and mental disabilities, while Peter's exclusive rule was opposed by Feodor and Ivan's older sister [[Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia|Sofia Alekseyevna]], who led a [[Moscow uprising of 1682|Streltsy uprising]] against him and [[Natalya Naryshkina|his mother]]'s family. Because neither Tsar was of age to rule, Sofia subsequently claimed regency until she was removed from power by Peter in 1689. Ivan V and Peter I's joint reign continued, however, with Ivan maintaining formal seniority despite having little participation in the affairs of the state until his death in 1696, at which point Peter became the sole ruler.
