Description
The era of Anna Ioannovna’s reign is called the “Bironnovshchina.” Historians still debate whether there was an overabundance of Germans at the empress’s court. Would it have been better if the empress accepted the “Conditons”—a kind of Constitution limiting her rights? What if, in the 1730s of the eighteenth century, a parliament had appeared in Russia? And what if the person at the throne were someone of a different character than Biron—not a “knight without fear and reproach,” but simply a decent person, as much as was possible in that era.
