# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Michael Romanov was born in 1596, son of Feodor Nikitich Romanov and Xenia Shestova, and first cousin once removed of Feodor I through his great-aunt Anastasia Romanovna. When the Zemsky Sobor elected him tsar in 1613, he inherited a fractured state bleeding territory and legitimacy. The Ingrian and Polish–Muscovite Wars ended in 1617 and 1618, securing Russian independence at the cost of western lands. In 1634 the Treaty of Polyanovka finally forced Polish king Władysław IV Vasa to abandon his claim to the Russian throne. While the west contracted, the east exploded: Cossacks pushed deep into Siberia, and by Michael's death in 1645 Russian explorers had reached the Pacific. He left a dynasty that would rule until 1917.
