NNA, Empresa of Russ{a, would merit little more place in history A pages than would be accorded to any other daring, consclenceless ade yenturess, were it not for one or two notable happenings for which she was indirectly responsible. She was a niece of Peter the Great, being the daughter of his younger brother, Ivan, and passed a rather gtormy girlhood in the imperial court, When she was seventeen (in 1710) she was married to the Duke of Courtand, who, after a single year of wedded life, did her the favor of dying and leaving his gay young widow to enjoy life after her own erratic fashion, Yet, through all her amusements, she found time. to make a. close study ot politics, to..map—out for herself nn audacious, unscrupulous course of future action, and ‘so to manipulate the game of court intrigue as to attract to herself a strong party, _ “By the time the Czar, Peter IJ., died, tn 1730, her, plans were matured, She prevafled on the Imperial Council ‘to offer her the crown. This council was. chiefly made up of. members of two powerful noble families who be- eved that with Anna on the throne, under conditions tyax by theca selves, they might curb despotism, improye the, co) fon of the nobles (if not of the people at large) and, incidentally, pes : “? b&ps, run the government as they chose: | The TA Sontation and conditions they laid before Anna amounted virtu- +§, ally to a constitution... By them she bound heredif to rule strictly according to the council's deot- sions, to tuke no radical step without its consent, to punish no noble, to prove. Such an agreement tied Anna's hands pretty tightly, and left her with. out much real' power. But, somewhat to the nation’s surprise, she signed the Constitution and declared she would act in accordance to its decrees, For her plans were well laid. Almost at once these designs were put inte execution. The powerful faction she had formed was opposed to the coun- cil, and that faci{on roge as one man to demand that Anna repudiate the Constitution. This she did with cheerful promptness, and set out to govern as a despot accountable to no onc but herself, though, as_she preeeey grew to realize, she was more the dupe than the mistress of her own visers. The framers of the Constitution were, nearly all, either exeouted or banished to Siberia. Then set In a verttnble reign of terror, the Em press’s faction, in their ruler’s name, wreaking vengeance on councillors and others for past grievances. Anna and her minister, Biren, put to death all who opposed them, ali: whom they chose to regard as in any way dangerous; all who seemed too powerful or too proud to yleld meekly to the order of affaira which the Empress and her minister had inaugurated. Biren, whose influence over Anna was unbounded, was made Duke of Courland and was endowed with almost absolute power, -which he used unsparingly to punish his personal or political enemies. Within six years about twenty thousand persons (most of them high in rank) were executed. The Empress, who had begun her rule as a mildly constitutional ‘sovereign, was proving herself ap tyrannical as Peter the Great himeelf, without a tithe of that monarchs wouderful ability. Yet her reign was marked by several historical events. She won fame tor generosity by restoring to Persia three provinces that Peter the Great had ennexed. As‘a matter of fact, these provinces brought in little revenue to Russia, and were a of Her Reign. qo | {ees and Bad nae great expense, so Anna's act of restoration wae 3 not only spectacular but wise. She also secured a Chinese Embassy at St Petersburg (the first ever sent to Burope) and won for Russia a foothold in Central Asia by estab- lishing a protectorate there. The yeurs she spent on the throne were, however, chiefly noteworthy ag being a transition period for Russia from roughness and semi{-barberism to a semblance of European polish.
