Father Paul I, the grandson of two implacable enemies: the Russian emperor Peter I and the Swedish King Charles XII. Brought up in the spirit of Swedish patriotism, which was expressed, among other things, in hatred of Russia. Since 1742 – heir to the Russian throne. From December 25, 1761 to June 28, 1762 – Emperor. Not crowned. In traditional historiography, it is characterized, and not without reason, like an ignorant, weak -minded Russophobe. It was overthrown as a result of the Palace Revolution of 1762 to his own wife, the future Empress Catherine II, and was killed in the Ropshinsky Palace near St. Petersburg. His idol, the Prussian king Frederick II the Great, remarked on this occasion: “He allowed himself to overthrow himself from the throne, as a child who was sent to sleep”.
