I'm going to get a a Yes, yes,

or ras, if yes or Ross. We're he you can't Hi, this is your Russian rulers podcast host Mark Shouse. I'm interrupting today's

podcast all the way from episode 108 to make a short announcement.

I've created a new blog site for all things having to do with Russian history and far beyond just the rulers. You can find it at

W. W. Russian rulers history.com. I mean there's a lot of content there

already to read about things like the December

revolt of 1825 the life of Sviata Polk the Accursed Nikita Khrushchev and much

much more.

Of course, there's also a small little PayPal donation button there

if you want to help support the podcast.

It would be much appreciated.

Now, on to the podcast. Welcome to the Russian rulers

podcast episode 34, Two Titans Peter and Charles the 12th.

I'd like to start off with a kind of a mea-culpa as I found out I made a mistake in

last week's episode,

as I claim that the future Queen Anne of Great Britain

was the daughter of William of Orange.

One of the listeners, Justine, informed me

that this was incorrect,

Z Anne was actually his sister-in-law and not his daughter.

Thank you, Justine, for straightening me out. Can't put one past you guys.

Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
