13. Russia during the reign of Catherine I, Peter II, Anna Ioannovna

Peter I died January 28, 1725without appointing a successor. The question of the heir to the throne was to be decided by the Senate, the Synod and the generals. When deciding on the heir to Peter I, opinions and voices were divided:

1) the old nobility wanted the accession of little Peter, the son of Tsarevich Alexei;

2) the nobles, headed by A. D. Menshikov and P. A. Tolstoy, wanted to proclaim the widow of Peter I, Catherine, as empress.

The Senate proclaimed Empress Catherine, who was crowned in 1724 BC In fact, the ruler of the state became A. D. Menshikov.

In May 1727, Catherine died and Peter II Alekseevich ascended the throne. The princes Dolgoruky gained great influence on the emperor, and Menshikov and his family were exiled to Siberia. AT January 1730 Peter II became seriously ill and died.

Members of the Supreme Privy Council invited the Dowager Duchess of Courland to the Russian throne, Anna Ivanovna (daughter of Tsar Ivan Alekseevich).

On February 15, 1730, Anna solemnly entered Moscow, and the oath was taken to her. The Empress abolished the Council and created a cabinet "for the best and most orderly administration of all state affairs."

Under the new empress, the Baltic Germans occupied many positions in diplomacy. The first place in the state was taken by the favorite of Anna Ioannovna, chief chamberlain von Biron.

Russian nobles, especially from the old nobility, were not only relegated to the background, but also subjected to direct cruel persecution, executions, exile, imprisonment in the fortress befell the princes Dolgoruky and Golitsyn, the cabinet minister A.P. Volynsky was executed.

В 1736 BC a law was issued that significantly limited the official service of the nobility imposed on it by Peter the Great. Even earlier in 1731 BC the government of Anna Ioannovna returned to the nobility the right to dispose of estates, limited by the law of Peter I on single inheritance.

To improve the economic condition of the landowners in 1734 BC opened a state loan bank.

In October 1740 BC Empress Anna died, appointing her two-month-old grandson John as heir to the throne.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Remote speed limit in Tesla vehicles 03.07.2018

Tesla has begun distributing updates to its mobile app and on-board software for electric cars, with the updates reportedly bringing a remote speed limit feature.

The new option will become available after downloading the automotive firmware version 2018.24 or higher. On a mobile device, an application with a version of at least 3.4.1 must be used.

If these conditions are met, owners of Tesla electric cars will be able to remotely limit the maximum allowable speed and acceleration dynamics using a smartphone application. In particular, the limit can be selected in the range from 80 to 145 km/h.

This feature will be useful if the owner of a powerful electric car has handed it over to an inexperienced driver, say, to his child, who has only recently joined the ranks of motorists. In addition, the option can theoretically help in case of car theft: by limiting the speed, the owner will make it easier for the police to pursue the attacker.

Note that Tesla cars also have Valet Mode. When it is activated, the maximum speed is limited to 110 km / h, and the power drops to 25%. In addition, the glove box and luggage compartment are locked, access to settings and personal data is blocked. This mode can be activated when the machine needs to be handed over to a third party.
