Avtonom Golovin

The tsar "promoted" Avtonom to the rank of colonel of the Leib Guard Preobrazhensky regiment and asked him to participate in his Azov campaigns.

Soon, Peter the Great had to decline their services and put inexperienced Muscovite sluzhiliye lyudi in charge of the training.

Field Marshal Charles Eugène de Croÿ and all of the foreign officers in the Russian army surrendered to the Swedes.

They were soon followed by Generals Yakov Dolgoruky, tsarevich Alexander Imeretinsky, Avtonom Golovin and Ivan Buturlin, who had decided to capitulate, as well.

Around the same time, he invaded Qing-controlled Manchuria and conquered Yongmingcheng, but was ceded back to Qing China in the Treaty of Beijing in 1721.
