Talk:Artamon Matveyev

Matveev not Natalia's ward
Among others, Bushkovitch has convincingly argued that the following s a myth: "It was at his house that Alexius, after the death of his first consort Maria Miloslavskaya, met Matveyev's ward and favorite student."

He instead points (also referring to others) at the relations between Matveev and the Naryshkins built up in the army. See Bushkovitch, ''Peter the Great. Struggle for Power'', chapter 2 (I think). 217.100.14.122 (talk) 15:38, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
