		With no remaining male heirs to the Romanov line, the ruling elites dominated by the Dolgorukii and Golitsyn families, turned to Anna Ivanovna, daughter of the feeble-minded Ivan V and niece of Peter the Great, as an acceptably weak and innocuous candidate for the throne.
		But when Anna arrived in Moscow and news of the "conditions" of her accession to the throne became known, a storm of protest broke out among the nobility who feared the power of the Supreme Privy Council.
		Ultimately, however, Anna, relying on the support of the nobility and guards regiments, opted to repudiate the previously signed conditions and restore to Russia the principle of unimpeded autocratic rule.
