	Elizabeth of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Peter the Great and Martha Skavronskaya, was born at Kolomenskoye, near Moscow, on 18 December 1709 (O.S. As her parents were not married at that time, her illegitimacy would be used by political opponents to challenge her right to the throne.
		What in her sometimes seemed irresolution and procrastination, was, most often, a wise suspense of judgment under exceptionally difficult circumstances; and to this may be added that she was ever ready to sacrifice the prejudices of the woman to the duty of the sovereign.
		Elizabeth regarded the treaty of Westminster (January 16, 1756, whereby Great Britain and Prussia agreed to unite their forces to oppose the entry into, or the passage through, Germany of the troops of every foreign power) as utterly subversive of the previous conventions between Great Britain and Russia.

		Elizabeth Petrovna was born on December 18, 1709, at Kolmenskoe, near Moscow, on the day of her father's triumphal entry into his capital after the victory of Pultawa.
		This reply was accompanied by a letter from Elizabeth to Maria Theresa rebuking the Court of Vienna for its want of candour in negotiating with France behind the back of Russia, and threatening, in case of a repetition of such a violation of treaties, to treat with the King of Prussia directly and independently.
		Elizabeth was not, however, averse from a peace-congress sitting while the war still went on, though she was firmly opposed to anything like a truce as being likely to be "extremely useful to the King of Prussia." To these pro-positions the allies yielded after some debate.

		After losing his voice, he was accepted in the post of the court bandura player, and then the manager of one of her mansions.
		It has been speculated that he secretly married Elizabeth Petrovna in a rural church of Perovo (now a part of Moscow) in the autumn 1742.

	Elizabeth
		While still in her teens, she made a lover of Alexius Shubin, a sergeant in the Semenovsky Guards, and after his banishment to Siberia, minus his tongue, by order of the empress Anna, consoled herself with a handsome young Cossack, Alexius Razumovski, who, there is good reason to believe, subsequently became her husband.
		During the reign of her cousin Anna (1730-40), Elizabeth effaced herself as much as possible; but under the regency of Anne Leopoldovna the course of events compelled the indolent but by no means incapable beauty to overthrow the existing government.
		Ultimately, however, the minister, strong in the support of Elizabeth, prevailed, and his faultless diplomacy, backed by the despatch of an auxiliary Russian corps of 30,000 men to the Rhine, greatly accelerated the peace negotiations which led to the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle on October 18th, 1748.

	Introduction to Empress Elizabeth
		The time of the rule of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna (1741-1761) does not rank among the periods of Russian history that have been well studied by native and foreign historiography.
		Elizabeth's reign, like those of her predecessors on the throne-Catherine I, Peter II, and Anna Ivanovna-has remained as if in the shadow of the grandiose era of reforms in the first quarter of the eighteenth century.
		The works of scholars of the nineteenth century devoted primary attention to gathering facts relating to the rule of Elizabeth and, secondarily, attempted to examine this period in the general context of the so-called era of palace revolutions (1725-1762) that was marked by political instability.

		Within a week of her accession, Catherine was called upon to ratify a decree of the Senate giving the Jews free admission to the interior of Russia.
		During the whole reign of Elizabeth Petrovna (1741-1762) the persecution of the Jews had been carried on.
		Catherine, in her zeal to maintain the traditions of Old Russia, and to flatter its prejudices, could not, with all her liberalism, openly favor the Jews; therefore they were not included in the edict issued Dec. 15, 1762, permitting foreigners to enter and to settle in Russia ("Complete Russian Code," xvi., No. 11,720).

		The chosen subject is difficult to define except as “vulgarly sociological”: the intention is to demonstrate that the palace revolution which led to Elizabeth Petrovna ascending the throne, directly influ enced the rhythmic structure of Russian syllabic-accentual versi fication.
		This is the reason why the introduction of Elizabeth Petrovna’s name into the odic vocabulary brought about the radical reconstruction of the whole system of rhythm.
