Feodosiya or Praskovia Mikhailovna Solovaya (Russian: Феодосия Михайловна Соловая; died 1621) was a Russian noblewoman, Tsesarevna of Russia as the second spouse of Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich of Russia, son of Ivan the Terrible.[1]
She was the daughter of Mikhail Timofeevich Petrov, a nobleman from the Ryazan region, and belonged to the noble clan later known as Petrovo-Solovovo.[2] In 1574, she was selected by the tsar to marry his son.[3] As she was childless, Ivan the Terrible forced their divorce (in 1579) and had her take monastic vows in the Intercession Convent of Suzdal.[1]
