 Anna Ivanovna Biography / Biography of Anna Ivanovna Biography Biography
She continued the policy of westernizing Russia initiated by Czar Peter I. Born in Moscow on Jan. 29, 1693, Anna was the daughter of Ivan V, co-czar of Russia with his half-brother Peter I. After her father's death in 1696, she and her mother and sisters became dependent on Czar Peter I.
Moreover, even by the cruel standards of the time, she was immoderately severe in her treatment of any who aroused her disfavor; she was responsible for the arrest, torture, or exile to Siberia of thousands.
Having no direct heir, Anna was determined to ensure that her successor would come from her side of the Romanov family--that is, from the descendants of Ivan V rather than those of Peter I. To that end, she chose her niece Anna Leopoldovna to provide the heir and selected her husband.

 The "Conditions" of Anna Ivanovna's Accession, 1730   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
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.

During the reigns of Anna Ivanovna (1730-1740) and Elizabeth Petrovna (1741-1761) the Baroque style prevailed in the arts as it had during the first years of the century.
