· "1725: Secrets of palace coups. Testament of the Emperor" The year is 1725. Emperor Peter the Great is dead. He did not leave a clear will, and there is a growing power vacuum in the country. The court splits into several warring camps, each of which promotes its own candidate: · "Chicks of Petrov’s Nest" (Menshikov, Tolstoy, Apraksin) - for Empress Catherine I. They represent the "new" nobility that emerged under Peter. · \*\*Noble aristocracy (Dolgorukovs, Golitsyns) - for the young Tsarevich Peter Alekseevich (grandson of Peter I). They are fighting for the return of the "old" order and influence. · Imperial Guard (Preobrazhensky and Semenovsky regiments). Their bayonets will decide who sits on the throne. They need to be negotiated with, they need to be bribed or intimidated. · Secret societies and foreign agents (agents of France, Sweden, Austria) who seek to weaken Russia and influence the outcome in their favor.
