As D. S. Mirsky noted, his poetry appealed to the easily awakened emotions of the sentimental reader rather than to the higher poetic receptivity . Kozlov was born in Moscow , of noble ancestry, in 1779. He began writing poetry only after 1820, when he became blind. He reached the success equal to that of Alexander Pushkin with The Monk 1825 , a verse tale in which the darkness of a Lord Byron Byronic hero is sentimentalized and redeemed by ultimate repentance. The Monk produced as large a family of imitations as either of Pushkin s Romantic poems. Kozlov s two other narrative poems, Princess Natalie Dolgorukov 1828 , a sentimental variation on the theme of the misfortunes of Peter II of Russia Peter II s bride, and The Mad Girl 1830 , met with a somewhat diminished success. Today the only poem of his still universally remembered is an exceptionally faithful translation of Thomas Moore s Evening Bell song Evening Bells , entitled , a popular Russian song. He also translated The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna by Charles Wolfe poet Charles Wolfe , and this text also became very popular in Russia.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Supreme Privy Council of Imperial Russia was founded on 8 February 1726 as a body of advisors to Catherine I of Russia Catherine I . Originally, the council included six members Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov Alexander Menshikov , Fyodor Apraksin , Gavrila Golovkin , Andrey Osterman , Peter Tolstoy , and Dmitry Galitzine . Several months later, Catherine s son in law, Karl Friedrich, Duke of Holstein Gottorp , joined the Council. During Catherine s reign, the Council was dominated by her former lover Prince Menshikov. In her testament, the Empress authorized the Council to wield power equal to that of her successor Peter II of Russia Peter , except in the matters of succession. After Peter II assumed the throne, Menshikov persuaded him to marry his daughter. By the time of Menshikov s downfall in September 1727 the Council s constitution had changed drastically Apraksin died, Tolstoy was exiled, and Duke of Holstein left Russia. Thereupon it was expanded to eight members, of which six represented old boyar families opposing the Westernization reforms of Peter the Great the Dolgorukov s and the Galitzine s. The other two seats were retained by Osterman and Golovkin. As the conservative influences prevailed among its members, the Council although nominally a consultative body monopolized supreme power and had the imperial capital moved back to Moscow . The Collegium ministry collegia i.e., ministries and the Senate , instituted by Peter the Great as supreme governing bodies, were not called governing any more and were held accountable before the Council rather than the Emperor. After Peter II s death in 1730, the Council chose a rather improbable successor Anna Ivanovna , Duchess of Courland , whom they deemed easily amenable to manipulation and too conservative to restore Peter I s reforms. Anna was allowed to ascend the throne only after she had signed the famous conditions, which conferred on the Council the powers of war and pea ... more details
Refimprove date October 2008 Russo Swedish War Series The Russo Swedish War of 1590 1595 was instigated by Boris Godunov in the hope of gaining the territory of the Duchy of Estonia along the Gulf of Finland belonging to Sweden since the previous Livonian War . As soon as the Truce of Plussa expired early in 1590, a large Russia n army led by Godunov and his sickly brother in law, Fyodor I of Russia , marched from Moscow towards Novgorod . On 18 January they crossed the Narva River and laid siege to the Swedish castle of Narva , commanded by Arvid St larm the Younger Arvid St larm . Another important fortress, Kingisepp Jama Jamburg , fell to Russian forces within two weeks. Simultaneously, the Russians ravaged Estonia as far as Reval Tallinn and Finland as far as Helsingfors Helsinki . On 25 February, the local Swedish governor Klas Henriksson Horn was compelled to sign an armistice , which obliged Sweden to surrender the territories won by the Treaty of Plussa namely Jama, Koporye , and Ivangorod . This peace settlement displeased John III of Sweden , who sent a fleet to take hold of Ivangorod, but this attempt to besiege the fortress was checked by a Russian castellan. Matters then remained quiet until summer 1591, when the Swedes struck against Gdov , capturing a local governor, Prince Vladimir Dolgorukov . The other war theatre was Eastern Karelia , where the Swedes sacked Kola town Kola and other Russian settlements bordering the White Sea . A raiding party led by Finnish peasant chief Pekka Vesainen , destroyed the Pechenga Monastery on December 25, 1589, killing 50 monks and 65 lay brothers. He then turned his troops to Kola Bay Kola Fjord but could not manage to destroy the Kola Fortress due lack of men.
