This book is about the reasons, circumstances and the historical meaning of the assassination of Petr III. Assassinated and forgotten, Peter the Third (1728-1762) ruled Russia for only one year and was thrown off the throne by his wife who became known in history as Catherine the Great. As Duke of Hol`stein-Gottorp, he could have succeeded to two other European thrones, but chose to be Russian Tsar instead, and waited for 20 years to be him for a moment. Bibliographical references.
