The History of Russia Podcast

This week we’ll be putting the seven years war to one side whilst we concentrate instead on events that took place in Russia during 1757 and 1758 which, in no particular order, include the reasons for, and the political and personal fallout from, that Russian withdrawal, Catherine and Stansislaus’s affair, the Empress Elizabeth’s health and Peter’s pro-Prussian leanings.

In this episode we’ll be taking a closer look at the affair between Catherine and Poniatowsky and we’ll be checking in on yet another health scare.  But as interesting as those subjects are, we'll be spending the majority of our time getting to grips with some new, major developments on the European diplomatic front - developments that would turn the old established order on its head and that would come as a nasty surprise for two key individuals.  Click on one of the links below to join the Boyar Duma where for a small monthly subscription you'll receive the following - * Exclusive membership of the Boyar Duma and a shout out on the Podcast * Ad-free podcasts * At least one members only episode per month * General release episodes at least 1 week earlier * Transcripts for each episode (Patreon Only)   Via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/historyofrussia_boyarduma [https://www.patreon.com/historyofrussia_boyarduma]   Via Apple Podcasts search in apple podcasts for ‘Boyar Duma’ or the ‘History of Russia podcast-members only’ and hit subscribe. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-russia-members-only/id1696439936 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-russia-members-only/id1696439936]   Via Spotify  Search in spotify for 'Russia members only' https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damon-boar/subscribe [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damon-boar/subscribe] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This time around there are Just two main items on the agenda  - The Empress Elizabeth’s ongoing, and so-far frustrated efforts, to secure the Romanov succession and the political machinations and intrigues that would eventually lead to the outbreak of the Seven Years War. Oh and finally and as indicated by the title there is someone from outside of Russia who gets to play quite an important and intriguing role in our proceedings.

This week, probably much to everyone's relief, we will be taking a break from the ceaseless round of court intrigue and instead we’ll be looking at what else was going on in Russia during the Elizabethan age. What else, apart from pilgrimages, cross-dressing balls, and controlling her dynasties destiny was Elizabeth up to and what was going on, away from St Petersburg and Moscow in the ever expanding and increasingly vast Russian Empire?
