Later life
Irina was close to her brother, Tsar Alexis, who mentions her before his wife and children in his letters and seem to have regarded her as the first lady of the family. She exerted some degree of influence over him, but their relationship cooled down during Alexis' second marriage in 1671. After this, she spent more time on an estate which she had inherited from her grandmother, Xenia Shestova, outside of Moscow.
