About the book: 2010 / Among the blank spots of Russian history are the years 1725–1730, when four emperors changed in five years. Among them was the youth Peter II, under whom a tight knot of court intrigue began. What will happen to the young emperor, how will the battle between David and Goliath end, what are the intentions of Peter II and their completion? What did the king’s entourage achieve and what came of it? The historian and writer Adel Alekseeva writes about all this.
