Peter II

(Peter II Alekseevich). Born Oct. 12 (23), 1715, in St. Petersburg; died Jan. 18 (29), 1730, in Moscow. Russian emperor from 1727. Son of the Tsarevich Aleksei Petrovich and Princess Sophia Charlotte of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel; grandson of Peter I the Great.

During the first months of Peter II’s reign, A. D. Menshikov was the de facto ruler. After Menshikov was exiled in September 1727, Peter II, succumbing to the influence of the old boyar aristocracy (the princes Dolgorukii, for example), declared himself an opponent of the reforms of Peter I. Institutions established by Peter the Great were abolished. The tsarist court took up residence in Moscow. Peter II was betrothed to Princess E. A. Dolgorukova. During the preparations for his coronation, he died of smallpox. On his death the male line of the Romanov family became extinct.
