Under Elizabeth Petrovna the daughter of Peter the Great, St Petersburg was the most dazzling court in Europe. Foreigners were amazed at the luxury of the sumptuous balls and masquerades. The empress adored dancing and new clothes. She issued special decrees governing the styles of the dresses and decorations worn by courtiers. No one was allowed to have the same hairstyle as the empress. Elizabeth owned fifteen thousand ball-gowns, several thousand pairs of shoes and an unlimited number of silk stockings. She never went to bed before six o’clock in the morning and spent each night in a different room, never having a permanent bedroom. Despite her love of parties and dresses, Elizabeth was extremely religious. She visited convents, made pilgrimages to holy sites and spent long hours in church. When asked to sign a law secularising church lands, she said: “Do what you like after my death, I will not sign it.” All foreign books had to be approved by a church censor. Klyuchevsky called her a “kind and clever, but disorderly and wayward Russian woman” who combined “new European tends” with “devout national traditions”. х
