May 1682 CE
The Miloslavsky conspirators stir up riots in the streets of the capital, using the discontent of the Moscow regiments against their commanding officers.
The mob of the Streltsy takes over the Kremlin on May 21, 1682 and lynches the leading boyars and military commanders whom they suspect of corruption—Artamon Matveev, Prince Mikhail Dolgorukov—the old and unpopular leader of the Streltsy—and Grigory Romodanovsky.
