NOTES
1). royalty.ged NAME Petr III Czar of Russia. TITL Duke of Holstein Gottorp. BIRT PLAC , Kiel, Schleswig Holstein, Prussia Pyotr III Karlovich 1762 , grandson of Pyotr I. This peculiar and little known character is an enigma. On his marriage to Yekaterina II. A thorough German, Pyotr despised Russia and made no secret of it. He had no love for his wife and hoped to put her away when he became Tsar. Unfortunately, Yekaterina was much too quick for him. He was put away himself, in a monastery, and subsequently murdered, probably against the wishes of Yekaterina, who was not unduly disturbed, anyway.

2). royalty.ged NAME Ekaterina Sofie the Great II Czarine of Russia. TITL Princess of Anhalt Zerbst. 77. Yekaterina II the Great 1762 1796 . Famous for her string of ardent paramours, Yekaterina was a vigorous and powerful ruler. As early as 1758 she was hatching plans to seize the throne upon the death of Yelizavet, as her letters show clearly. Wise beyond her years, Yekaterina began at once to cultivate an image of herself as a true Russophile. While her husband showed utter contempt for the customs and traditions of Russia, she showed respect and enthusiasm for htem. Thus, when the confrontation actually occurred, Russia s anti foreign bias told in Yekaterina s favor. Indeed, so effective was she in her role that this German Empress, without so much as a drop of Russian blood in her veins, is extoled by her contemporaries as a Russian of Russians, saviour of the realm, and so on and on. Yekaterina was good playing roles. Another of her favorites is enlightened monarch . Well versed in the writings of Western European liberalism, she was extremely adept at turning Enlightenment phrases, and this has earned her an undeserved reputation as a Child of the Enlightenment, a benevolent legislator, and so on. In 1767 she convoked a legislative commission in Moskva. Her Nakaz instruction to the commission, which runs for pages and pages, is full of French Enlightenment verbiage. A careful reading, however, proves it to be a blueprint for absolute and untrammeled despotism. While there is no question that Yekaterina did in fact have the welfare of her realm at heart, she never entertained the notion of any check on her absolute power whatsoever. Her greatest administrative reform was the total elimination of service requirement for the boyars, the socalled Emancipation of the Nobility . Her chief contribution to the serfs was a deepening of their immeshment in the toils of slavery.The Augustan, Vol. XIV, No.s 5 and 6.A Survey Reactionary at home, Yekaterina was cautious and prudent abroad. She participated with hearty appetite in the various partitions of Poland recovering all the territory Russia had lost since the Mongol invasion, with interest. She also picked up some giblets Crimea and Trans Dniestria from Turkey. The Pugachev Revolt 1773 1775 , another Cossack affair joined by many serfs, was put down after some very hard fighting. At the end of her reign the advent of the French Revolution caused Yekaterina s rule to become even more reactionary e.g., exile of Aleksandr Radishchev, 1790 . Augustan, Vol. XIV, No.s 5 and 6.
