History/Military Terrible Tsarinas: Five Russian Women in Power
Posted on 2010-03-15
|  |
More Henri Troyat, Terrible Tsarinas: Five Russian Women in Power Peter the Great (1672-1725) pulled Russia into the Western realm despite the opposition of noblemen, churchmen, and even the ordinary peasant. His untimely demise in 1725 did not allow him to appoint a successor. The next 25 years were consumed by the succession of four women Catherine I, Anna Ivanovna, Anna Leopoldovna, and Elizabeth I (Petrovna) who ruled Russia, making precarious alliances through arranged marriages. Catherine II (the fifth woman in succession) ruled Russia for the next 50 years. Their lives of political and sexual guile set the stage for the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War), the partitions of Poland, and the system of political alliances in 18th-century Europe. Troyat, a member of the Academie Francaise and author of dozens of novels and biographies, including Catherine the Great and Tolstoy, employs a highly readable style, and his text proves that skirts didn't impede the movements of these women.
