#elizaveta

OK whut whut they made a show about young Empress Elizabeth? i want!!!

Aaaand they put in romance with Elizaveta and Shubin good lord.

Per wikipedia (I put in google translate from russian wiki page since I am too lazy to translate myself):

He was distinguished by exceptional good looks, agility, and vigor. Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, to whom he served as an orderly, favored him; she was known among the Semyonovsky Guardsmen as "Mother." Elizabeth wrote passionate love poems to Shubin. After ascending the throne, Anna Ioannovna removed Shubin from the Tsarevna’s court and sent him to Reval to serve in the Dorpat Regiment; however, on December 31, 1731, he was brought back to St. Petersburg and taken to the Secret Chancellery, where he was subjected to brutal torture and flogging with the knout. In January 1732, he was sent to Kamchatka, where he was forcibly married to a local woman.

Once she eventually managed to overthrow the government and ascended the throne, she brought him back and made him a general though romantically she moved on.

PS And here is a mv for Elizabeth and Razumovsky, her long term lover, secret husband and a man she eventually made a prince who managed a miracle of having no enemies because he was utterly not interested in power but only in her so basically a unicorn.
