[bunniefuu]

The year 1744.

Russia is gradually evolving and being
strengthened as a world state.

The New capital is not even


But Petersburg is already considered as
one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

As heir of Peter the Great,
continues his daughter Empress Elizabeth.

Palace Empress Elizabeth
January 1744

Her Majesty the Emperor's

Mistress Empress Elizabeth Petrovna!

High Chancellor, Count Bestužev,
Count Razumovsky.

General-Lieutenant Apraksin,
adviser Listok.

The rule of Elizabeth Petrovna
demands on dark circumstances.

The Empress had no children.

Forced to heir to the throne
declare her relatives.

Lord! What does that dog?

Peter Fjodoroviè carries the title
grandson of Peter the Great.

But the Empress did not see in him
anything like his father.

Aunt, be proud with me.

Lord! How can you read
to this bumping? I feel sick.

Subdued We are traveling
at TUD account.

What thaler for a way for sending us
generous Empress Elizabeth.

Reported is that Princess Frederika
is on the way.

Your Majesty, under these circumstances
she could be bride of the Tsarewich.

It can be any,
but a German woman.

The German woman has no chance,
but she's a necessity.

Keep Europe nervous.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, we are ready.

Actresses set as fiancee.
Your aunt did choose her.

You again? Damn!

Quiet.

After all I'll choose the princess.

Aunt ordered it.

You're about to defy lures in Russian?

And it Anhelsepska princess,
daughter of the Duke. Poor souls.

Turn around!

Do you want to say that her form
matches the original?

I don't believe it. I know her.

We have seen her before 5 years ago
in Prussia. She was so small.

I chose them in accordance
with the descriptions.

I don't like Princess Frederika.
I'm not going to marry her.

Her father was a general in
the army of King Friedrich.

I know who he is. I should be a
general in the army of King Frederick,

not to freeze to death in
this barbaric land.

- How to travel in this weather?
- The Poland princess.

Healthy color in her face.
Female calendar, she is a regular.

- Why are you unhappy, General?
- I'm through with the Poles in Russia.

- Although it is beautiful.
- I'm going to marry her.

Keep the portrait.

I am moron, Your Majesty. Sorry.

Your Majesty, I suggest
the Welsh princess.

Your father, Peter the Great, and I
thought of the English successors.

Mistress, let me mention Denmark.

Denmark is the natural opponent of
Prussia. Princess Louise is poor.

- I care. He is 23 years.
- My goodness!


I have not married.

- Your Majesty, you are you.
- I know who I am.

If we had money, they would
take a normal carriage.

We could use night vision vase.

Our mother, don't you think?
Will you stop?

Stop. You're a princess,
daughter of the Duke. Fike, you...

Do not call me 'Fike'.
I'm not small.

Then and conquer.
Do you understand where we're going?

Russia is an Asian country.

What would have commanded Europe.
So does your father.

So I'll be Empress of Europe.

I don't see obstacles to a happy marriage
for Tsarevich Petra Fjodorovich

with the French princess Margarita.

Lord! What are your performances
in diplomacy.

We will be friends of England,
if you are married to English woman.

In France, if it's a French woman.

This is not the last century.
This is the 16th century.

Today none of these variants
does not guarantee Russia.

The Tsarevich woman simply needs to have the child,

a Worthy successor to the Russian throne.
And that's the point.

Remains to pray that you become
Russian Empress

And not to forget that the mother
who bothered for you.

Our mother, I will not forget.
Neither you nor your father.

But he did not come to me rinse?

Because it is a shame to sell his
daughter to a rich Russian prince.

What should I sell? The Russian prince
will see me and will be happy.

Have there been pretendents?

You are alive?

Mom, it's him. The Prince.

Make ready the horses!

Give me your hand.

- Who is going to meet that princess?
- Prince Saltykov, Your Majesty.

I appreciate your game, Bestužev.

A German princess can drop
before the start of the competition.

- What's the matter?
- My leg.

Mom, the Prince.

- Do not race it.
- I'm responsible for you.

But I... I'm fine.

All is well, Your Highness.

Let me introduce myself.
Prince Saltykov.

- You're not the Tsarevich?
- No. I am a court chamberlain.

- I do not love you?
- No.

- I do not like you?
- No. Relax.

I do not feel in Russian.

- Elizabeth Petrovna, mistress.
- Hug me.

Hug me. I got tired.

Rest, mistress.
You've worked hard today.

Tell me, Ljošenka.
As it turned out like this?

The Lord will not let me
the joy of motherhood.

If God be pregnant,
we veins it.

You'll sit beside me on the throne.

Just believe in me.

Itself I will bear an heir.

Getting back to work,
Alexei Grigorieva.

Mistress, but...

Russia can not be without the emperor.
And not without a successor.

If no heirs, it will be messy.

1744

In Europe rose a new
German state.

The Kingdom of Prussia.

France, England and Austria
hoped to direct aggression

towards Russia by King Friedrich.

At the same time, Russia has to
deal with the Black Sea coastal,

where the Ottoman Turks and the Crimean Khan
are sending expeditions to Moscow

or to Astrakhan.

Five years earlier, Russia has
won Azov from the Turks,

but the entire coastal area is
still controlled by the Turks.

A Russian ship was banned
entry into the Black Sea.

Russian traders, breaking the prohibition,

were captured and ex*cuted in the Crimea.

Turkish sultan Mahmud handed over
an apology to Empress Elizabeth

on behalf of his Crimean vassals.

He was not ready for w*r
and it enraged the French.

Agents of the French king Louis

paid Krim canoe for
this provocation.

France's gateway to Russia
will start a w*r against the Sultan

Friedrich would rather France,
struck Russia in the rear.

Petre Fedorovich, dare to
come in front of me with these?

King Friedrich did
the festivities accompanying dogs.

One in his left hand, the other on the right.

Noble ancient tradition, aunt.

Do not call me aunt.

King Frederick is German, and you
are heir to the Russian throne.

Russians don't let dogs into the house.

When I become emperor

Russian life will change.

Incorrect tradition will be
proper in time.

Are you mad?

Who talks like that in
addition to live Empress?

And what did you get?

I chose myself a wife.

- That one?
- Yeah.

- You don't like the Prussian princess?
- No.

- It's your childhood blood.
- No. I want the field.

I have never had a family.
Now I shall have.

I prefer her as family, wife and child.

You will have your family?

Petre Fjodorovich,

I want you to remember forever.

You'll never have anything of your own.

You have no right.

I am the grandson of Peter the Great and
the rightful heir to the Russian throne.

Shame.

Pity on you, Petre Fjodorovich.

You raise your voice in my presence.

You have to learn!

But we have to take
you to the fortress.

Why the fortress, aunt?

- Your imperial majesty.
- I need.

Let me show you something.

Peter and Paul fortress,
January 1744. [/ B]

Aunt! Your imperial majesty.

What have all these people done?

k*lled the houses at court.

Aunt!

Your imperial majesty,
I want to get married.

With whom you say.

Let's discuss.

Three years ago, Ivan Antonic was
proclaimed emperor of Russia.

He ruled for two weeks and then disappeared.

Anyone who mentions his name
I ordered to cut language.

I'm still forbidden to learn the
was welcome.

I can talk to him.

Does he understand words?

No.

I do not know who he is,
where he is, hasn't any parents.

She'll never get out of here.

But will live.

Aunt, let him live.

So far he hasn't received toys.

Good. One has one.

Sorry, it's broken.
I wanted to give the repair.

Kissed her?

What should you tell
when you receive gifts?

Don't you wanna say thank you?

And he will be yours.

Here. For the service.

Let's go.

Child Empress has its limits.

You did a lot for our country,
but složiæete is,

Your French interests can not
be our over Russia.

- We are very grateful to you...
- Good.

Do not forget that my mistress
owes the throne

And you, Chancellor.

I owe you?

Yes. France has financed a coup
in favor of Elizabeth Petrovna.

But you have benefited from it.
How old are you in the court?

Is not much of a stranger?

I'll be happy to determine
the fate of Russia Russians,

But can do without France?
Support the French fiancée.

- You've always been my friend.
- I'm staying.

Both your and the whole of Russia,
with all my heart...

Peter the Great has said that the French
place of the heart has a bottle of perfume.

You lived in Russia but
have not become rus.

But I know the difference between
spirit [perfume] and soul.

I warned you, Lestoku.
Stop.

Russia will no longer have "friends".

Russia has risen.

Now have the weaker colors,
a strong hate.

Au revoir.

Crimean canoe were revenged.

Nika fortress, known as Kerela,

Cossacks were completely destroyed and b*rned.

Russians have shown that their
apology is not enough.

They were going to fully
secure the south.

France, Austria, England,
Prussia, Ottomans

snd the remains of Polish, all
had plans in Eastern Europe.

The borders of Russia were
everywhere in danger.

From the Baltics to the Caucasus.

You've shown poor,
Petre Fedorovich.

In body, and in head.

I made a mistake in choosing him
successor of the Russian throne.

Unfortunately, the only descendant of
Peter the Great is through the male line,

- Your Majesty.
- All hope is to have the child.

For nothing else.

Is it to leave the empire?

Let bore a boy and going with my eyes.

The Solovetsky Monastery.

Or...

To hide it in prison.

As Ivana Antoine.

What do you say, Alex Ivanovich?

- Duke!
- Yes.

- You know the Tsarevich well?
- I know him.

What should I am doing to him to like me?

You don't have to like him.

- But who?
- Yelizaveta Petrovna.

How?

You have a beautiful smile.
Laugh.

I'm afraid that will not be enough.

Mommy, look how
they are welcoming us.

What is this?

Not there, not there. Go to the garden.

It's not for us. I knew it.

Immediately humiliation.
Nobody is welcoming us.

Also not the Tsarevich. The Empress
has probably changed her mind.

Hold it, Mommy. Can you hear?
A violin. The Tsarevich likes me.

As for a burial.

Thank you. If I need help,

will you help me again?

I trust you.

Dozens of eyes are following us,
so be suspicious.

Aide to her Imperial Majesty,
is that Count Lestoku.

- A very dangerous man.
- How am I to him?

Don't worry. I brought them!

I need to examine you.

Afterwards the Secretary will
introduce you to court.

At evening is the solemn reception.
Time is short.

- Hurry.
- Thank you. Command me.

Close your eyes, your light.

Reach out. Kneel.

Rise. Once again kneel.

Rise.

Turn around and repeat after me.

- Fish.
- Fish.

- Rat.
- Rat.

Crew.

Crew.

What you see here, your light?

Bird. The bird!

In the name of Her Imperial Majesty

Sophia August Frederika,
Princess Anhelsepska

And mother of the Princess - Johan
Duchess Gottorp Holstein.

There is your gift, Baron.
The Empress chose a German princess.

Smile.

- It decides about our lives.
- Just not the princess.

Look carefully.

The Princess will be sick,
die and disappear.

This marriage can't take place.

Do not rush, awnings.
This is just the introduction.

I'd be quiter. We're not talking
here French, only me.

Duchess, you look so much like Karl.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yes. They told me I look like
my brother.

- But I don't remember him so well.
- I remember him.

How can I forget?

Poor Karl! Beautiful and wise.

You could be my cousin,
duchess.

If Karl had not d*ed on the eve of the wedding.

Good afternoon, Your Majesty emperor.

You speak Russian?

No Russian language nor boots
can not shoes off.

That's good.

Come on. Even after Emperor Tsarevich,

King - Kraljevic...

Remember that, and you are who?

Tsar.

The move came a difficult sin. Death.

- Do you repent of your sins?
- I repent, Father.

The Lord is merciful, repent you.
What more sins are in your soul?

I sinful mortal sin.

I got an innocent child in trouble.

The Lord is merciful if repentant.

- What is it, Your Father.
- Travel to the north, mistress.

Into the monastery.

Into there?

- I'll go.
- I don't pray in the temple, already in the narthex.

Do some bowing to the people.

It will be so.

If you don't perform these bowed
from hopelessness,

The Lord will give you strength
to tolerate His penalty.

I'll do so.

- Take me to the flower market.
- Yes, master.

You are a much more interesting
man, Your Highness.

What a wondrous joke,
Your Highness.

Can you find the princess
of strange disease

- or physical deficiency?
- No.

We can not let rapprochement
Princess Frederike and the Tsarewich.

Princess Frederika was healthy.

I can invent a disease, but
the Empress will convene a panel.

King Louis is ready to give you
a pension. Get connected.



Fifty.
France is in danger.

I think that the king will not refuse.

- The poison is immediate?
- Of course not.

I'll stir three receipts.

I want to be your wife,

Your Highness.

Lord loving souls aren't given child.

Three times I tried to get married.

And failed.

I wanted to do you have cheated
destiny, but it can not be.

Do not cry, my lord.

Peter will have a child.

I will educate him.

You'll be his father, Alexei?
Promise.

For your own luck, Mistress.

Together we will raise the real
emperor Alexei Grigorievich.

Yes, Mistress.

Father Simon instructed me repentance.

Let's go to the northern monastery
where he lives with Family Ivana Antoine.

Do they know that John is alive?

Schedule portrait.
Let processed.

Majesty, you should not be late at
the first meeting with the princess.

- Women do not like that.
- With women's, Bregdorfe,

as well as in politics.
Do not show weakness.

I agree. But do not tolerate negligence.

Are made of, to be toys men.

Well, for example, King Friedrich.

One of his gestures is enough
to lie all of Europe under his feet.

And licks his shoes. Thus and
with women. Then those they love.

With Elizabeth Petrovna you
can't do that, or you'll get hurt.

It's not the same, Bregdorf.
It is not a woman. She's Empress.

If no accidents
happen to princess Frederick,

she will become empress.

The Prussian princess can never
be like aunt.

In addition to gaining weight.

Are you ready? Hurry.

You are not dressed? We will be
send back, not because of me.

He'll send us back if
you're talking nonsense.

Remember. Russian men
are always right.

You need to be aware of that.

Yes, but on the throne of them are
women. And everybody is happy.

That's it. Do not get smart.

Especially be careful with the Empress.
One wrong word and...

Her Majesty the emperor,
the ambassador of Prussia.

- Your Majesty!
- Baron!

Permission to visit Princess Frederick

And Mrs. Johan.
Yes, they welcome

and express my deepest joy.

Baron, I do not understand.

You can visit the princess and duchess

without permission from my sides.

I don't restrict either you or them.

Go in peace, Baron.

Follow the correspondence of the
princesses, and especially of the Duchess.

Make true copies.
Notify me of each letter.

I already am doing so,
Your imperial Majesty.

During the shift was not happening.
Leaving surveillance within.

- The chair creaks, should be lubricated.
- Switch submitted.

- Entered into place.
- Take the ink.

I think you called me
gift of King Frederick.

I'm not a house or some thing.

If you say something like that,
what will bring us more tonight.

God, bring reason to her.

What is it?

Probably a mouse.

And in general, talk less and listen
more. You are the future Empress.

I have not even a fiancee.

There's no betrothal and if
you don't hurry, there will be none.

Yes, yes.

Go with dignity,
and not hunched.

You are so fresh and beautiful
today. Are not you cold?

I have blood boiling.

- No unclean thoughts. You must not.
- I did not even think about it.

This young man should have a
mistress with more experience.

Our mother, you know how
to raise spirits.

Prince, I would like to thank you
for your attention.

I know that's a nice man can find
hundreds of interesting jobs.

- So your concern is especially good.
- Hello, Your Majesty.

Hello, Your Majesty.

- Good day.
- A wonderful day.

- Let's walk.
- Please do not speak German.

- But do not speak Russian.
- Aunt prohibited.

- She will not hear us.
- We'll see.

By moving the lips she understands
what we're talking.

Aunt has a good eye.

If you want to.

I guess you're Highness Frederik?
He says you know what?

Majesty the excitement Frederick.

As soon as he woke up, he talked
about today's meeting.

And counted the minutes.

They look like angels.
Made for each other.

That's enough. Here are snacks.

- Sorry, Your Majesty...
- Serve up.

These are so delicious. What is it?

- Fresh oranges, Your honor.
- Oranges.

Oranges? Are they growing in Russia?

- We import them from Portugal.
- You're funny.

It seems that love is orange.

Your Majesty, I remember,
you wanted to be

shown honorary officers water?

- Do officers honorary water?
- Yes.

As Peter the Great?

I want to visit his castle.

- It is a small house, nothing more.
- Well, I've never been.

- Yes.
- I understand.

I have yet to visit the Academy of Sciences.

I study philosophy and physics.

Do you? The Academy of Sciences
exists Kunstkamera.

The jars are monsters and
various malformations.

- Yes. Davoli.
- Yes.

- Devils?
- Yes.

- With tails and horns.
- Yes.

- I want to see the devil.
- Davoli?

And there are many.

Hey! Devils!

The castle does not take
serious talks.

Elizabeth Petrovna has a mania
of wiretapping everything.

And now it is worth
away from the window.

King Friedrich

sends you best wishes and


I'm very thankful to his majesty.

Tell him that I am his devoted servant.

His Majesty hoped
such a response.

King Friedrich asked to write
a detailed report.

How you are managing
at the new place.

How do you develop relationships
with Elizabeth Petrovna.

Write openly. The letter will
give him on hand.

Ivana Ivanovich what
says the Duchess?

What can I say?

I do not know. It seems that
she's beautiful and attractive.

I have not looked.

A deep look into you. Look deep into it.

You're a lonely man.

And she is here alone.

Not old. My counterparts.

Or do you seem old?

- No.
- At 35

women are just beginning to understand
what a pleasure physical love is.

So, you can't get a mature woman?

Honestly, I even envy the Duchess.

Theirs so lavish affair.

Just warn General Shuvalov.

He sees every spy.
God forbid, that began to follow me.

Yes.

General Shuvalov is accompanied by such sin.

I do not trust people.
But we will not warn him.

Your passion with the Grand Duchess
is gonna stay a secret.

Your Highness!

Chump!

How do you spell
Princess Frederika?

The Poland princess likes me more.

Frederik.
What was she as princess?

A funny girl.

Gemma! Daughters, not all its lately.

- You stink of male odors.
- Dad, I gotta go.

Don't do it. I see everything, Gemma.

Stay away from bastard advisers.

He was a womanizer and a cad.
It can destroy everything.

He's not like that, Dad.
Enough fantasizing. I gotta go.

How nice he plays.

He was strange, but that's not important.

No. It is not strange. It's fun.

Your Excellency Mr. Minister,

I'm telling you that I have taken
all necessary measures

for the removal of the
main obstacles of our plans.

Give me your hand.

Close your eyes.

Do not grieve, beautiful.

I'll get it from your father.

My love!

Italian blood is not cooled
so easy.

He's so tired of this foolish job.

Imagination to make money and
travel to Naples.

He hates snow.

But there are a decent salary
and living in a castle.

Here it is all just a simpleton.

You would go with him?

Of course.

Bravo!

And with this, trains and actors...

Stage mastery.
Do you want to see the show?

I'll help you.

No, and you help me.

Place heir to the Russian throne

will soon be released.

I like it here. We're staying.

Mom, I like it here.

I therefore remain.

Matrjona...

Are there fresh oranges?

Not fresh, your light.
There's just jelly.

I'll take it.

Bring another wish.

Can this man eat what he wants?

I can share with you?

- I'll get more, Your Highness.
- No need.

There's enough for two.

I forgot to ask.
What kind of dog was with my grandfather?

You know that King Friedrich
in solemn moments

went accompanied by two dogs.
According to one of the left and right hand.

- I can do it. Will you show?
- Yes.

Bregdorfe!

Am I doing something incorrectly?
