Description
Pyotr II Alekseevich (23 (12) October 1715 – 30 (19) January 1730) was a Russian emperor who ascended the throne after Catherine I.
He was the grandson of Peter I, the son of the Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich and the German princess Sophia-Charlotte of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and also the last Romanov in the direct male line. Pyotr II began his reign on 6 (17) May 1727, at the age of eleven, and died at fourteen from smallpox. In his short life, he had not had time to make his mark in state affairs and, in fact, did not govern the country independently. Power was concentrated in the Supreme Privy Council and, above all, in the circle of the young ruler’s closest associates: first A. D. Menshikov, and after his fall—the Dolgorukov princes.
