Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov (Александр Данилович Меншиков) (1673 – 1729) was a Russian statesman, whose official titles included Generalissimo, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Duke of Izhora.
Menshikov understood perfectly the principles on which Peter's reforms were conducted, and was the right hand of the tsar in all his gigantic undertakings.
Menshikov was committed to the Petrine system, and he recognized that, if that system were to continue, Catherine was, at that particular time, the only possible candidate.

On 20 May, 2003, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg, in the Menshikov Palace was opened an exhibition dedicated to Aleksandr Menshikov, the first Governor and organizer of the construction of the Northern capital.
Building of the new capital may be traced from 1706 due to various printed and handwritten drawings and plans of St. Petersburg including a detailed plan of the area along the rivers Karpovka and Malaya Neva dating from 1724, which has never before been displayed.
It includes an introduction written by the Hermitage Director Mikhail B. Piotrovsky, articles about Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov and his palace, and a review of documents preserved at the Russian National Archive of History and other Russian archives related to Menshikov’s construction activities.

Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov (Александр Данилович Меншиков) (1673 1729) was a Russian statesman, whose official titles included Generalissimo, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Duke of Izhora (Duke of Ingria).
It has been disputed by his enemies whether his father was an hostler or a bargee; it's more likely that he was of petty noble stock.
During Catherine's short reign (February 1725 - May 1727), Menshikov was practically absolute.

 Swedish victory at Poltava
Stanislaw Leszczynski's position was already crumbling well before Poltava and the Confederation of Sandomierz was beginning to raise its head once again, even though the few Polish supporters that August II had weren't all that willing to accept the return of the Saxon Elector unconditionally.
However, in this alternate timeline, Stanislaw wouldn't have any urgent need to retreat, and without the support of field-marshal Menshikov's troops - who'd be either decimated in Ukraine or concentrated against the Turks by now - it's unlikely that August would dare to intervene alone in the winter of 1709-1710.
Also, the Poles of Sandomierz could hardly pose anything more than a bloody nuisance at this point, and as soon as Carl XII returns, his personal presence within the Polish borders should be more than enough to keep Stanislaw on the throne, maintain order within the Rzeczpospolita and forestall all attacks from Saxony.
