Tikhon Streshnev

Tikhon Nikitich Streshnev (Russian: Тихон Никитич Стрешнев; 1649 – 15 January 1719, in St Petersburg) was a Russian boyar and statesman during the reign of Peter I of Russia, one of the first members of the Governing Senate and the first governor of Moscow after the post was reformed by Peter.

Several noted historians have suggested—citing the extreme height of both Peter and Tikhon—that Streshnev was the czar's actual, biological father.

Together with his uncle, boyar Rodion Streshnev, he mentored the young tsar, Peter I.

To the period of his absence in 1697, Peter left to govern the state Prince Romodanovsky and Streshnev.

In 1718 he participated in the trial of Tsarevich Alexei and he was one of those, who signed to him the death verdict.
