Russia, Anna Ioannovna, 26 February 1730 - 28 October 1740
Anna Ioannovna and sometimes anglicized as Anne ruled as Empress of Russia from 1730 to 1740. Much of her administration was defined or heavily influenced by actions set in motion by her uncle, Peter the Great, such as the lavish building projects in St. Petersburg, funding the Russian Academy of Science, and measures which generally favored the nobility, such as the repeal of a primogeniture law in 1730. In the West, Anna's reign was traditionally viewed as a continuation of the transition from the old Muscovy ways to the European court envisioned by Peter the Great. Within Russia, Anna's reign is often referred to as a "dark era."SH111005.

Russia, Peter II Alexeyevich, 17 May 1727 – 30 January 1730
Peter II Alexeyevich ruled Russia from age 11 until his untimely death at 14. His mother died when he was ten days old. His father, the tsarevich Alexei, accused of treason by his own father, Peter the Great, died in prison in 1718. Three-year-old Peter and his four-year-old sister, Natalya, were orphans. Their grandfather ignored them. His earliest governesses were the wives of a tailor and a vintner. Peter the Great died in 1725 and was succeeded by his second wife, Catherine I. During the reign of Catherine, young Peter was ignored but was assigned a program of education that included history, geography, mathematics, and foreign languages. Peter was uninterested, preferring hunting and feasting. When Catherine died in 1727, the court named Peter heir, even though Catherine had two daughters of her own. Peter II was quick-witted, but stubborn, and had no desire to rule. In late December 1729 Peter fell dangerously ill. The next day doctors diagnosed smallpox. He died on 30 January. A few minutes before his death, in his delirium, he ordered horses so that he could visit his sister Natalya who had died in 1725.WO99917.
