See also:IVAN VI . (1740-1764), See also:emperor of See also:Russia, was the son of See also:Prince Antony See also:Ulrich of See also:Brunswick, and the princess See also:Anna Leopoldovna of See also:Mecklenburg, and See also:great-See also:nephew of the empress See also:Anne, who adopted him and declared him her successor on the 5th of See also:October 1740, when he was only eight See also:weeks old. On the See also:death of Anne (October 17th) he was proclaimed emperor, and on the following See also:day Ernest Johann See also:Biren, See also:duke of See also:Courland, was appointed See also:regent. On the fall of Biren (See also:November 8th), the regency passed to the baby See also:tsar's See also:mother, though the See also:government was in the hands of the capable See also:vice-See also:chancellor, Andrei See also:Osterman. A little more than twelve months later, a coup d'etat placed the tsesarevna See also:Elizabeth on the See also:throne (See also:December 6, 1741), and Ivan and his See also:family were imprisoned in the fortress of Dunamunde (Ust See also:Dvinsk) (December 13, 1742) after a preliminary detention at See also:Riga, from whence the new empress had at first decided to send them See also:home to Brunswick. In See also:June 1744 they were transferred to Kholmogory on the See also:- WHITE

Rumours of his confinement at Kholmogory having leaked out, he was secretly transferred to the fortress of See also:Schlusselburg (1756), where he was still more rigorously guarded, the very commandant of the fortress not knowing who " a certain arrestant " committed to his care really was.

Peter III. the See also:condition of the unfortunate prisoner seemed about to be ameliorated, for the See also:kind-hearted emperor visited and sympathized with him; but Peter himself was overthrown a few weeks later. In the instructions sent to Ivan's See also:guardian, Prince Churmtyev, the latter was ordered to See also:chain up his See also:charge, and even See also:scourge him should he become refractory. On the accession of See also:Catherine still more stringent orders were sent to the officer in charge of " the nameless one." If any See also:attempt were made from outside to See also:release him, the prisoner was to be put to death; in no circumstances was he to be delivered alive into any one's hands, even if his deliverers produced,the empress's own sign-See also:manual authorizing his release.

time, twenty years of solitary confinement had disturbed Ivan's See also:mental See also:equilibrium, though he does not seem to have been actually insane. Nevertheless, despite the See also:mystery surrounding him, he was well aware of his imperial origin,and always called himself gosudar(See also:sovereign). Though instructions had been given to keep him ignorant, he had been taught his letters and could read his See also:Bible. Nor could his See also:residence at Schlusselburg remain concealed for ever, and its See also:discovery was the cause of his ruin. A sub-See also:lieutenant of the See also:garrison, Vasily Mirovich, found out all about him, and formed a See also:plan for freeing and proclaiming him emperor. At midnight on the 5th of See also:July 1764, Mirovich won over some of the garrison, arrested the commandant, Berednikov, and demanded the delivery of Ivan, who there and then was murdered by his gaolers in obedience to the See also:secret instructions already in their See also:possession.
