Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. It was chiefly through the efforts of Menshikov and his colleague Tolstoi that, on the death of Peter, in 1725, Catherine was raised to the throne. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aleksandr_Danilovich_Menshikov   (885 words)

The Avalon Project : Foreign Relations 1958-60 Volume X - May - July 1960 : THE U - 2 Airplane Incident Menshikov made a remark which left me with the impression that insofar as the Soviet Government and Khrushchev were concerned that unless there was at some time either by this or a future administration an "apology" for the U - 2 incident, this would continue to be a big factor in Soviet/American relations. Menshikov attempted to state that Khrushchev was merely replying to attacks on the Soviet Union by American officials but was unable in answer to my question to give any specific cases, except some statements he attributed to Senator Johnson and a speech by the Vice President in South Dakota, I believe. Menshikov immediately said what he had said to Senator Fulbright,(7) that Senator Johnson's statement about a submarine base was completely out of this world and provocative; the Soviet Union had no intention of establishing bases or any military arrangements in Cuba. www.yale.edu /lawweb/avalon/diplomacy/forrel/5860vxp1/vx156.htm   (1653 words)

Menshikov Palace The Menshikov Palace is one of the first stone mansions in Saint Petersburg. The famous restorer A.

Russkaya Starina, Volume XIX, pages 300-323 For appearance’s sake, he had offered the excuse that as a cavalry general it would be dangerous for him to undertake a mission such as an attack on a fortified town, all the more so since in his last campaign Wrangel had still been only a squadron commander. Menshikov was now assured that an attack would now take place, but still he sent me and Volkov to be present at this affair. Khrulev already had his own glory forged in battle, so Menshikov had assigned the force to him along with Wrangel so they would make joint decisions, the prince keeping in mind that the initiative of one would balance the caution of the other. home.comcast.net /~markconrad/Panaev.htm   (9618 words)
