THE ROLE OF COUNT A. I. OSTERMAN IN THE REGULATION OF RUSSIAN SUCCESSION IN THE 1730s — EARLY 1740s
Abstract
A. I. Osterman being one of the key persons in the government under the reign of both Anna Ioannovna and Anna Leopoldovna played an important role in the regulation of succession to the Russian throne in the 1730s — early 1740s. This aspect of his domestic political activity is of particular interest as the succession to the throne was one of the key problems of the state system, as political stability often depended on it. The analysis of historical sources showed that Osterman, who repeatedly addressed to the Charter of the succession of 1722 was the heritor of Peter’s reforms. In addition, he actively used modern European political and juridical ideas.
