Alexis
Alexis (Aleksey Petrovich) , 1690-1718, Russian czarevich; son of Peter I (Peter the Great) by his first wife, and father of Peter II . Opposing his father's anticlerical policy, Alexis renounced his right of succession and fled (1716) to Vienna. Peter, who feared that Alexis might win foreign backing, enticed him to return; he then had him arrested and tried for treason. Sentenced to death, Alexis died from the effects of torture shortly before his scheduled execution.
