Afrosinya
Yefrosinya Fedorova ((ロシア語:Ефросинья Фёдорова); also ''Euphrosyne, Afrosinya, Afrosina, Ofrosinya''; 1699/1700 – 1748), was a Russian serf. She was known as the royal mistress of Alexei Petrovich, Tsarevich of Russia who fled with him September 26, 1716. She was the property of Alexei's tutor, Prince Nikifor Vyazemsky, but had originally been a captive from Finland, then a Swedish province, and was thereby a Swedish citizen.
==Background==
Afrosina was born around 1700 or 1699. Her father was called Teuvo, or Feodore in Russian, Theodore in English. Her brother was called Jouni in Finnish, Ivan in Russian and John in English. Her name in Finnish was probably Eufrosyne, called Eufrosinya in Russian and Afrosina in English. It is thought that she and her brother were prisoners of war. They were captured in the south of Finland, and sold into serfdom. The Russians fought Finland in what is called Great Wrath from 1714 for three years. It is likely she was captured shortly before being presented to Alexei.
Afrosina was described as being short and red haired. There were uncomplimentary descriptions of her as being tall with thick lips but these have been said to be false; eye witness descriptions contradict that. She was likely somewhat stout, considered very attractive at a period when most adults, including Alexei her lover, had tuberculosis.
