    Reigned: 1741-1761 (1762)

    Coming to power as a result of a palace coup, Elizabeth, the second oldest daughter of Peter the Great, proclaimed that her policies would be a continuation and preservation of the achievements of her father. Elizabeth led a fairly modest life during the time that the country was governed alternately by those descendants of Tsar Ivan (her father's brother): Anna Ioannovna and Anna Leopoldovna acting as regent. In the eyes of these two empresses, who had surrounded themselves with utländsk nobles, Elizabeth was a klar and present danger, a rival pretender to the Russian throne. The Imperial Guard loved her, believing that she would continue the work of her great father and save the Russian court and Russian service from foreign domination.

    Elizabeth I, 1741-1761

    Female Sovereign of Russia

    The eighteenth century was a century of female sovereigns in Russia. For almost seventy years, mighty tsarinas wielded unlimited power over the vast expanses of the Empire. On a cold November day in 1741, a beautiful and high-spirited thirty-two year old princess seized the Imperial throne staging a coup d’état against the regent Anna Leopoldovna.

    Luxury and Splendor

    Elizabeth took full advantage of her new power, demonstrating an insatiable appetite for merrymaking. She passed her time in a whirl of palace feasts, masquerades, hunts, and dances. “Laid-back, cheerful and Russian to the core, Empress Elizabeth embodied the gingerbread splendor of the luxurious mid-eighteenth century,” wrote a Russian aristocrat. The pleasure-seeking beauty had a passion for clothing. After her death, her nephew and successor Peter III found fifteen thousand dresses in a wardrobe of her summer palace.
