Saint Petersburg, Palace Empress Elizabeth, April 1762

Watch out! Behind you.

A weak servant of the master, like the master himself.

Grigory, I thought I'd not see you anymore.

Go. Go ahead. Alert the regiment.

Speak since you arrived, Aleksandra Ivanich.

Katerina Alexeevna did escape. They must have helped her.

A few of my people were killed.

Search! Search for her.

Catherine Alexeevna and all who have helped send them to the stronghold.

- To the device for torture! - Your Majesty,

please.

Count, send Katerina Alexeevna back to the castle.

Quiet. You wake the child.

Here. Your son, Gregory Orlov.

Son.

Hi,

- Ivan. - I called him Alexei.

Alexei, it will not be.

Ivan is a nice name.

Ivan Powers. Masculinity. A wide open soul.

- And a father should give the names of the children. - He's babtized as Alexei.

So it will be Alexei.

I'll get used to it.

May God give our Alexei brothers and sisters.

This is no time for dreaming. But to think of salvation.

Gregory, I want to speak with the officers.

I'm not asking you to approve. Challenge the thoughts and propose.

The soldiers and officers now are all dissatisfied. Embittered.

Whole Prussia is complained of Russian blood.

- But Peter gave them victory. - You think they'll stand by me?

They Must.

It must, Catherine Alexeevna.

But is not it better to wait on returning from the Prussian army?

They'll send me to the fortress or I'll die in the monastery.

I won't allow it, Katerina Alexeevna. Trust me.

The main thing now is to gather strength. Take a break.

It's all God's will.

With God, Gregory.

If you need me, come on now.

After leaving Russia out of the war with Prussia,

the former allies, the Austrian and French armies

suffered a number of serious defeats.

The Germans thought emperor Friedrich as winner.

The Russian emperor Peter Fedorovich lost the war already obtained

and I then proposed one single reform

that could not be applied.

What you firmly and quickly treatment.

I don't consider return from military service. You know better than I do.

I promise that I will, with God's help and your support,

manage Russia fair and reasonable.

Katerina Alexeevna,

we still don't know who supports us, and who is ready to betray us.

For upheaval we need about a hundred officers.

The main necessity is ability and determination that is going to the end.

Gentlemen officers

29 June Petar Fedorovich started his reign.

And after that, it seems to be with me and with you, he wants everything.

We need to be pre-emptive.

Gentlemen officers, who's with me?

First Platoon, fall in.

Fifth platoon...

My angels!

Angels of me, protect me. Give me the strength to win...

It's time, Your Majesty.

Arrest and submit her to the stronghold. What are you waiting for?

Your Majesty, to the arrest we have to master a Guards regiment.

In addition, we do not know who else supports the rebels.

- How do you know? You shall know. - The Secret Office

disbanded your command. The possibilities are limited to us.

You're right. There. Good works

It rotates evil.

When I go to do a good work, please remind me

- on this terrible day. - Your Majesty,

it is better to take refuge.

We will remain to collect officers who are loyal to you.

Why do you collect them?

You have to come and protect me. They swore at me.

Your Majesty, this is a coup.

I do not know who will stand by you. The situation is extremely unpredictable.

What do you suggest? To run? No. I am the emperor.

Let Katerina Alexeevna know we took her Paul

and went. Communicate to her that I did not against. Can you tell her?

Your Majesty, we can not.

In addition, it is reasonable to take Paul with him.

There you go. Aleksandra Ivanich, it's despicable to hide behind a child.

Do you want to be saved?

I want to.

Oranijenbaum Fortress-practice site

Are you ready for battle?

There're many of them, Peter Fedorovich.

Do not pray to me, Elizabeth. I'm not going to run.

20 years of waiting. A long anticipated freedom.

I'm the rightful emperor.

I'm not sick.

I have never felt so good.

I love and have loved.

But now is the end.

In front of me is shame.

Life under-serving stupid relatives Goldstein.

Death is better.

Your Majesty, seal.

Where is the will?

Maybe there was no testament.

How will read your first command, Your Majesty?

I seem to hint at I wanna heard where they all can be.

Officers,

I'm a bad warlord and bad emperor.

I order to drop the weapons.

Drop them.

Save yourselves. Run.

Go, Your Majesty. I'm keeping them up.

No, my friend.

You go. Save yourself.

Worship the Empress.

You are cold, your light?

- Your Majesty. - Count,

I've always referred to you with great respect.

Are you looking for this?

- It should be discontinued. - Come on.

Let's see it.

The testament of Elizabeth Petrovna.

I proclamate as the successor to the Russian throne

after my death, Count Alexei Razumovski.

You got married?

She named you as her heir throne.

Draw your attention to the

Testament and record the original wedding.

But you decided to keep it a secret.

Why?

Do what you have in mind.

Count,

you want to go back into service?

Let me go to the estate, Your Majesty.

As you wish.

If you submit a castle, We'll stay friends.

Your friendship for me is priceless.

But let me ask you a favor.

- Do not kill Peter Fedorovich. - Why you pray for him?

- He considered me a friend. - He has sinned.

Your Majesty,

Elizabeth Petrovna made a lot of wrong procedures.

But for 20 years she didn't kill any man

and left her in my life emperor who was deposed from the throne.

Ivan António has a terrible life. Impossible.

But he is living.

I'm not going to deprive you of the life of Petra Fedorovich.

But it's Army holds a traitor.

Lizaveta, should we renounce as life prisoner?

They are like we are. We grew up together as children. Played.

Is it luck be emperor?

Is this the end? Yes to get killed and nobody even remembers?

None of your procedure did not cause someone's death. You're good.

The shame, Liza.

Everything was just dust.

- Soon you will see my poor fall. - No. I want to live a

life with you, Peter Fedorovich. In love and happiness.

I want to hear your violin and bring up our children.

If it does not happen so, then we're going to die together.

We'll be together in heaven.

A wise man. I have not figured out warlier.

Your Majesty, we then let that wise man be?

I understand Yelizaveta Petrovna alone in her testament

- appointed him as the emperor. - There is no testament.

I was not there. I refused.

Grigory Grigorieva, promise me that Peter will not even be touched.

I understand, Your Majesty.

Katerine Alexeevna

has lots of good in the soul.

They will not do it.

The blood of Peter the Great is flowing in you.

They Will not dwell hand.

What do you do, gentlemen? Are you crazy? This is the theater.

It was a theater.

It will be the stables now.

What do you want from us, gentlemen?

We want nothing from you, personally. Go away.

I'm not going anywhere... I'll stay with Peter Fedoroviche.

Elizabeth Romanovna is my woman. She has a right to know everything

You have to tell me. Don't touch her.

Take off your hands. Liza! Liza!

Petre Fedorovich,

write.

- Let me go. Get your hands off. - Calm down, you crazy.

- Go home, your lame majesty. - He gave up everything.

I don't want anything. At least let me stay together.

Moron. What do you need? You want to die?

What?

- Petruša, they will kill you. Run! - Shut up, will you.

Quickly.

Lifetime to deny

That country. I do not want her to fly,

nor arbitrary,

nor in any other form

of Administration.

Neither it through the bag

or through

anyone whose aid.

What is contested in favor of Katerina Alekseyevna?

- Ans heir to the throne of Paul. - Sign it.

I wanted to carry out reforms.

- Make Russia an European country. - She's like European.

Friedrich didn't consider us people.

You returned the rifle to Prussia, and the oath sworn at Russia.

You are a weak man. The traitor.

I could destroy eastern Prussia only when I wanted.

But it is the homeland of the Germans. Russia and Prussia were together forever.

I saved Russia.

I will oppose, I'll just say that this is delirium of a madman.

It's not the job of the Russian Tsar to take care of the homeland of the Germans. Sign.

We're waiting.

What will happen to Elizabeth Romanovna?

Is she pregnant?

In that case, nothing. She'll be at the court and marry.

But Elizabeth Romanovna wants to marry me?

- Too late. - Do not crack superfluous, Alexei.

Superfluous?

At his conscience live thousands of our comrades.

And it was thought as to play soldiers.

- You'll give me poison? - No poison.

I'm guilty.

I grew up late.

It's too late.

Fortress Šlisenburg

I look forward to many...

to see you.

Let me see your face.

Eyes. Body.

Forgive me for the mess.

I am the emperor Ivan the sixth.

- How about you? - I'm Katerina.

Katarina.

- They say you can not... - Speak?

No. I can speak.

Just long ago nobody talked with me.

But I know the Bible.

By heart.

Talking to myself aloud.

- Who has taught you? - My good nanny.

And this soldier

was given me by a good wizard.

His name was Peter.

I pray for him every day.

I did not bring you anything.

To see you is happiness for me.

I pray also for you.

Freed me breathe?

Liberation breathe.

I once saw a bird. The most beautiful thing I ever saw.

Your Majesty, do you know of an order to kill a secret prisoner

in the event of an attempt for liberation? The still counts?

That order remains in effect.

Do you have any orders about the secret prisoner?

- Proceed as your conscience dictates. - Explain, Your Majesty.

You are a brave and noble man, You'll take the only right decision.

I understand, Your Majesty.

How horrible! Officer, stop.

It's an old violin. Invaluable instrument. It may be damaged.

Unfortunately, I didn't learnto play the violin.

You will play, your former majesty?

Open up! The Empress commands to liberate the secret prisoners.

I want to see the bird.

- He can talk? - It doesn't matter anymore.

What did you get here?

I belong beside you and son.

You're too late for 7 years.

Soldiers should serve.

Good night.
