Life at the Russian court was extremely difficult for Yevdokia, there she was completely under the care and under the influence of her mother-in Marfa Ivanovna, who accompanied her everywhere; they also had the same confessor. Yevdokia never not won influence over her husband, even after the death of Marfa.

She died just five weeks after her husband, and was buried in the Archangel Michael Cathedral in Moscow.
