About Tzar Alexis Klyuchevskii known historian, wrote this:
Bad deeds of other heavily worked on it all the more because it placed opposite to him the duty to punish them. His anger was easily appeased, held a moment's flash, not extending further threats and kicks, and the king first went to meet the victim with forgiveness and reconciliation, trying to pet him, not to get angry.
Hot temper king most excited by meeting with moral outrage, especially with actions, which were detected boasting and arrogance. Who goes to boast, is always put to shame: that was the everyday observation of the king.

In 1660 Prince Khovanskii was defeated in Lithuania and lost almost all its 20000th army. The king asked the Duma boyars, what to do. Boyar, J. D. Miloslavskii in-law the king, who have never been on the march, suddenly declared that if the emperor pity me, give him command over the army, he will soon prisoner himself King of Poland.
Saying this, the king jumped up, kicked his beard and vytolknuv kicks him out of the chamber, slammed the door behind him.
At a braggart or bully king flares up, perhaps even putting them to use their fists, if guilty at hand, and would be sure to inveigh against their hearts' content: Alex was a master of abuse Meanwhile refined abuse, which can only scold and indignant placability Russian bonhomie.

Treasurer Savvina Storozhevsky monastery father, Nikita, drunk, got into a fight with archers, who stood in the monastery, nailed them to the foreman (the officer) and told him to throw in the monastery courtyard Streltsy weapons and clothes.
He could not resist and wrote a stern letter from a violent monk. But the tide of the royal wrath smashed on the idea never left the king that no one on earth without sin before God, that his court are all equal, and the kings and subjects: in moments of irritation Alex nor myself, nor apologetic subjects tried not to forget rights.
Alex loved to have around him were all cheerful and happy ; just could not bear the thought of it that anyone dissatisfied, grumbling at him, that he is someone uncomfortable. He first began to weaken the severity of establishments, a Moscow court prissy etiquette, do such difficult and strained relations court. He descended to joke with the courtiers, went to him simply to visit, invited them to come to the evening feast, drink, close was a member of their household affairs .

the ability to come to the position of others, to understand and take to heart their sorrow and joy was with one of the best features in the character of the king . It must be comforting to read his letter to Prince Nikita Odoyevskiy on the occasion of his son's death and the Ordin-Nashchokin about the escape of his son abroad - must read these intimate letters to see, at what altitude the sensitivity and moral sensitivity, could not raise even an unstable person, this ability imbued others with grief.
In 1652, the son of Prince Nikita Odoevskogo, then serving commander in Kazan, has died of a fever almost in front of the king. In 1660 the son of Ordin-Nashchokin, young man, put more hope that victuals teacher had turned her head with stories of Western Europe, he fled abroad. My father was terribly embarrassed and struck with grief, he advised the king about his misfortune and asked for her resignation. King was able to understand such provisions and wrote to his father heartfelt letter that defended him from himself. Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich was a good man, nice Russian soul . It was a good and wise sovereign, if not listen to bad and stupid advisers.

I read the letter written by the king in the XVII century, and I think how they measure and human understanding, how far is it from modern rudeness and cynicism of the modern notion of permissiveness.
