Life

Under the influence of his mother, he and his brother Fyodor advocated for the subjugation of Novgorod to Polish king Casimir IV.[2] He was elected posadnik (mayor) in February 1471.[1] Despite this, he gained the favor of Grand Prince Ivan III and was elevated to the rank of boyar in Moscow.[3] However, with the outbreak of war between Novgorod and Moscow, he led the Novgorodian army at the Battle of Shelon on 14 July 1471.[4] He was captured and sent to Moscow, where he was tried and executed on 24 July.[5]
