- Normally as part of the full title. Both Rus' (Rus'|Русь) and Russia (Rosija|Росия, Rossija|Россия) were used in the early 17th century. The references to Greater (Velikaja|Великая) and Lesser (Malaja|Малая) were added in 1654, the addition of White (Belaja|Белая) c. 1655.
- Regent (originally during the minority of Pëtr Alekseevič and Ivan Alekseevič:
- Velikaja Gosudarynja, Carevna i Velikaja Knjažna vsej Velikoj i Maloj i Beloj Rossii Samoderžica (Великая Государыня, Царевна и Великая Княжна всей Великой и Малой и Белой России Самодержица) | Great Sovereign, Tsarevna and Grand Princess, Autocrat of all Greater, Lesser and White Russia
- 1682 - Sep 1689
- Sof'ja Alekseevna (Софья Алексеевна)
-
Name (contemporary spelling): Sofìja Алексѣевна (Софія Алексѣевна). The date of formal acceptance of the position of regent is traditionally held to be 29 May/8 Jun 1682, but the legal act related to the establishment of regency is most probably a later fabrication to support the legitimacy of appointment. Sof'ja Alekseevna assumed the government de facto shortly after the proclamation of joint tsars on 26 May/5 Jun 1682 and, apparently, was given official recognition as regent in Sep/Oct 1682. The cited style in this form is found in the orders issued in 1686-1689.
