Death of Peter the Great and rise of Czarina Anne
The Dublix Gazette reports on the death of Peter the Great after a fever and hunting trip in Jovoroff. It notes his birth in 1715, his crowning and betrothal, and the swift ascent of Princess Anne Iwanowna as sovereign of all Russia. Coverage also mentions Catherine Alexiewna’s betrothal, court reshuffles, and political shifts, with brief foreign dispatch updates from Florence, Milan, and Hamburg on alliances and pretensions.
