Captain of the Grenadier Company

Vsevolod Solovyov (1849–1903), the son of the famous Russian historian S.M. Solovyov and the elder brother of poet and philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, is the author of a number of remarkable historical novels that describe events of the 17th through 19th centuries.
In the novel “The Captain of a Grenadier Company,” palace intrigues of the Biron era—an little-known period of Russian history—are vividly recounted.
The climax of the narrative is the arrest of Empress Anna Leopoldovna by the captain of a grenadier company—her daughter Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter I.
