Count Aleksei Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin (Алексе́й Петро́вич Бесту́жев-Рю́мин) (June 1, 1693 - April 21, 1768), Grand Chancellor of Russia, who was chiefly responsible for the Russian foreign policy during the reign of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna.
Bestuzhev curiously illustrated his passion for intrigue in his letter to the tsarevich Alexei Petrovich at Vienna, assuring his "future sovereign" of his devotion, and representing his sojourn in England as a deliberate seclusion of a zealous but powerless well-wisher.
He also won the favour of Biren, and on the tragic fall of Artemy Petrovich Volynsky in 1739 Bestuzhev returned to Russia to take Voluinsky's place in the council.

On January 3, 1742, Vorontsov married Anna Skavronskaya, the empress's cousin, and in 1744 was created a count and vice-chancellor.
His jealousy of Aleksei Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin induced him to participate in Count Lestocq's conspiracy against that statesman.
The empress's affection for him (she owed much to his skilful pen and still more to the liberality of his rich kinsfolk) saved him from the fate of his accomplices, but he lived in a state of semi-eclipse during the domination of Bestuzhev.

Among these sons, Count Nikolay Petrovich (1754-1826) was the only one to reach the highest offices of state.
Being on friendly terms with the future Alexander I and his mother, he served as Minister of Commerce (1802-11) and President of the State Council (1810-12).
During the years of his foreign service, Nikolay Petrovich amassed a huge collection of historic documents, rare coins, maps, manuscripts, and incunabulas which formed a nucleus of the Rumyantsev Museum (http://www.rsl.ru/history/history.htm) in Moscow (subsequently transformed into the State Russian Library).

 TermPapers-TermPapers.com - Fall Of The House Of Romanov
After having been defeated in the Russo-Japanese war, Russia no longer had much influence in East Asia and therefore turned its efforts to the Balkan states where an unstable situation was developing with the weakening of the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire.
The Russian foreign minister, Aleksandr Petrovich Izvolsky, failed to consummate a deal with Austria over the control of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This resulted in Austria taking control of those two Balkan states; this national humiliation caused Ivolsky to resign.
