This original newspaper contains an inside page heading: "EUROPE / Russia" with the printing of a declaration issued by EMPRESS ELIZABETH of RUSSIA referring to RUSSIA 's victory over Prussia in the Seven Years War in Europe. Elizabeth was Empress of Russia from 1741 until her death in 1762. She was known for her opposition to Prussian policies, and her many construction projects, including the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. In 1759, Empress Elizabeth of Russia defeated Prussia and captured Frederick II, who was considered one of the most skilled European warriors at the time.Elizabeth or Elizaveta Petrovna (1741-1762) was Empress of Russia from 1741 until her death in 1762. She remains one of the most popular Russian monarchs because of her decision not to execute a single person during her reign, her numerous construction projects, and her strong opposition to Prussian policies.The great event of Elizabeth's later years was the Seven Years' War. Elizabeth regarded the Convention of Westminster (16 January 1756) in which Great Britain and Prussia agreed to unite their forces to oppose the entry of or the passage through Germany of troops of every foreign power, as utterly subversive of the previous conventions between Great Britain and Russia. Elizabeth sided against Prussia over a personal dislike of Frederick the Great. She wanted him reduced within proper limits so that he might no longer be an alleged danger to the empire. Elizabeth acceded to the Second Treaty of Versailles, thus entering into an alliance with France and Austria against Prussia. On 17 May 1757, the Imperial Russian Army, 85,000 strong, advanced against Königsberg.From the end of 1759 to the end of 1761, the eagerness of the Russian Empress was the one constraining political force that held together the heterogeneous, incessantly jarring elements of the anti-Prussian combination. From the Russian point of view, her greatness as a stateswoman consisted of her steady appreciation of Russian interests and her determination to promote them against all obstacles. She insisted throughout that the King of Prussia must be reduced to the rank of a Prince-Elector. Very good condition.
