This is a groundbreaking study, for the author has used previously untapped Russian sources, including coded documents, to illuminate the role played by the Jacobite diaspora in Russia in the sage of Jacobite intrigue and British foreign policy in the period between 1715 and 1750. This period encompasses the climax of Russo-Jacobite relations under Peter I, the high point of the Jacobite military contribution during the reign of Anna Ivanova and the decline of Jacobite influence in Russia in the 1740s under Elisabeth. Drawing on both Russian and British sources, the narrative follows the changing fortunes of Jacobitism in Russia as a key influence on European diplomacy.
