The period of 1725-1762 is traditionally called the era of palace coups in the history of Russia, when six emperors were replaced on the throne in 37 years. The beginning of the era is considered the death of Peter I, and the end is the accession to the throne of Catherine II, although historians argue which was the last event of this difficult time. Russia was shaking from the regular change of government, but at that time the first university and the Academy of Sciences appeared in the country. What else do you remember about the era of palace coups? Test yourself with the RT test.
