	Polish and Russian Political History - Catherine II, 1762-1796
		All Catherine's grand schemes and magnificent projects, when directed towards the amelioration of the Russian people, came to naught partly because the Empress grew tired of them before they were half finished, and partly because, in the latter part of her reign, foreign affairs claimed her exclusive attention.
		Catherine began with an attempt to recodify the laws of Russia by means of a " Grand Commission" of 564 members, to be elected from every class all over the country, who were to bring with them to Moscow lists of their grievances for consideration and redress.
		Yet Catherine seems to have meant well to her subjects in a general, impersonal sort of way; and it is due to her to add, that the favourites and adventurers by whom she was always surrounded took good care to hide from her the real condition of the Russian people.

		Catherine, however, had been crowned empress-consort in 1724, and on Peter's death she was proclaimed his successor; the claims of Alexis's son (later Peter III) were bypassed.
		However, Peter came under the influence of the rival Dolgoruki family, renounced his previous engagement to Menshikov's daughter, and in 1729 was formally engaged to Princess Catherine Dolgoruki.
		Catherine II died in 1796 and was succeeded by her son, Paul I. His increasingly despotic and unbalanced policies prompted court nobles to conspire against him, and he was murdered in 1801.

		In that year the empress died, and a few weeks afterwards the emperor secretly married his mistress Princess Catherine Dolgoruki[?] (1847-1922), who was given the hereditary title Princess Yurievsky.
		His children with her were immediately legitimized, including Prince Gregory Yurievsky (1872-1913), Prince Boris Yurievsky (born and died 1876), Princess Olga Yurievsky (1874-1925), and Princess Catherine Yurievsky (1878-1959).
		On the very day on which this decree was signed—March 13, 1881—he fell a victim to a Nihilist plot.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Russia
		During the reign of Catherine II a Russian author, Radishsheff, in his "Voyage from St. Petersburg to Moscow", suggested the necessity of freeing the peasants from their servitude; the book was held to be dangerous, and its author was exiled to Siberia.
		This law was revoked by Catherine II in 1781, to the detriment of the metallurgical industries.
		The brief reigns of Catherine I (1725-27) and of Peter II Alexeievitch, son of Alexis and Charlotte of Brunswick, offer nothing of interest, except the struggle for political influence between the Menshikoffs and the Dolgorukis.

	Chapter 7 - Vigée Le Brun's Memoirs
		Count Cobentzel was passionately devoted to the Princess Dolgoruki, without her responding in the least to his importunities; but the coolness she showed toward his intentions by no means drove him away.
		What made the Princess Dolgoruki indifferent to the sighs of Count Cobentzel and to those of many other admirers was the fact that from one of them she had received attentions more brilliant than ever woman had had lavished upon her by any lovelorn king.
		It was well known in St. Petersburg that to afford the Princess Dolgoruki a spectacle he much desired her to see he had assaulted the fortress of Otschakoff sooner than had been agreed upon, and perhaps sooner than was prudent.

		The Princess whom he had come to marry, and who was fourteen, was lovely as an angel, and he speedily fell deeply in love with her.
		In the end, according to what Princess Dolgoruki told me, when every one was assembled, the Empress half opened the door of her room and said in a very subdued voice, "Ladies, there will be no ball to-night." The King of Sweden and the Duke of Sudermania left St. Petersburg the next morning.
		Catherine was laid out on a bed of state and surrounded by shields bearing the arms of all the towns in the empire.

		The Grand Principality was a ruin; its fourteen towns were burned, and when, in the absence of its Grand Prince, Vladimir the capital city fell, the Princesses and all the families of the nobles took refuge in the cathedral and perished in the general conflagration (1238).
		Monomakh and his son George Dolgoruki, the last Grand Prince of Kief, were both men of commanding character and abilities; and it will be remembered that it was Andrew Bogoliubski, the son of George (or Yuri), who effected the revolution which transferred the Grand Principality from Kief to Suzdal in the bleak North.
		She was the first Princess who ever drew aside the curtains of her litter and permitted the people to look upon her face.

		He undoubtedly retained an attachment to the mother of his children, even though he was then with the Princess Yurievski-Dolgorúki, whom he married immediately after the death of the Empress.
		He wanted to see the Grand Duchess Catherine (daughter of his aunt, Hélène Pávlovna, who had been one of the leaders of the emancipation party in 1861), and to carry her the welcome news, perhaps as an expiatory offering to the memory of the Empress Marie.
		He is said to have told her, "Je me suis décidé à convoquer une Assemblée des Notables." However, this belated and half-hearted concession had not been announced, and on his way back to the Winter Palace he was killed.
