About Peter II of Russia
At just eleven years old, I stood before the Supreme Privy Council in 1727 and signed the manifesto abolishing the Secret Chancellery’s unchecked surveillance, my first sovereign act, reversing my grandfather Peter the Great’s most feared instrument of control. Though my reign lasted barely three years before my death at fifteen, I oversaw the restoration of the Senate’s authority, reinstated noble service exemptions for education, and quietly shielded German advisors like Ostermann from court purges that had destabilized my predecessor’s rule. My court was neither flamboyant nor austere: it hosted French tutors debating Voltaire’s early letters while Russian cadets drilled under revised naval regulations I approved in 1728. I never crowned myself, no coronation occurred, yet I insisted on reviewing every provincial tax assessment before ratification, a habit that revealed my preoccupation not with ceremony, but with administrative fidelity. My illness cut short plans to restructure the College of War, but the drafts survive, annotated in my own hand with corrections to troop provisioning schedules.
