See also:THEODORE III . (1661-1682), See also:tsar of See also:Russia, was the eldest surviving son of Tsar Alexius and Maria Miloslayskaya. In 1676 he succeeded his See also:father on the See also:throne. He was endowed with a See also:fine See also:intellect and a See also:noble disposition; he had received an excellent See also:education at the hands of See also:Simeon Polotsky, the most learned See also:Slavonic See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

monk of the See also:day, knew See also:Polish, and even possessed the unusual accomplishment of Latin; but, horribly disfigured and See also:half paralyzed by a mysterious disease, supposed to be See also:scurvy, he had been a hopeless invalid from the day of his See also:birth. In 1679 he married his first See also:cousin See also:Agatha and assumed the See also:sceptre. His native See also:energy, though crippled, was not crushed by his terrible disabilities; and he soon showed that he was as thorough and devoted a reformer as a See also:man incompetent to See also:lead armies and obliged to issue his orders from his See also:litter, or his See also:bed-chamber, could possibly be. The See also:atmosphere of the See also:court ceased to be oppressive; the See also:light of a new liberalism shone in the highest places; and the severity of the penal See also:laws was considerably mitigated. He founded the See also:academy of sciences in the Zaikonospassy monastery, where everything not expressly forbidden by the orthodox See also:- CHURCH

church, including Slavonic, See also:Greek, Latin and Polish, was to be taught by competent professors. The See also:chief difference between the
Theodorean and the later Petrine reforms was that while the former were primarily, though not exclusively, for the benefit of the church, the latter were primarily for the benefit of the See also:state. The most notable reform of Theodore III.; however, was the abolition, at the See also:suggestion of Vasily See also:Golitsuin, of Myestnechestvo, or " See also:place priority," which had paralyzed the whole See also:civil and military See also:administration of Muscovy for generations (see GOLITSUIN). Henceforth all appointments to the civil and military services were to be determined by merit and the will of the See also:sovereign. Theodore's See also:consort, Agatha, shared his progressive views. She was the first to See also:advocate See also:- BEARD (A.S. beard, O. H. and Mod. Ger.
