Praskovia Saltykova

A portrait by Ivan Nikitin, early 18th century, parsuna style

Praskovia Fyodorovna Saltykova (12.10.1664 - 13.10.1723) was the daughter of Fyodor Petrovich Saltykov and Yekaterina Fyodorovna Tatishcheva.

Not much is known about her early life. Her marriage to the co-Tsar Ivan V had been arranged by his sister, Sophia. At that time Russian had been ruled by two tsars; Peter (later known as Peter the Great) and the feeble-minded (or mentally disabled) Ivan V. By marrying Praskovia to Ivan, Sophia wanted to make sure that Peter would not be able to rule, should their union produce a male heir.

She was the last tsaritsa to have been chosen through the 'parade of potential candidates', where the Tsar could choose one of about a dozen brides. She had been described as being a tall russian beauty with long, thick hair and a full figure. She was known to have been religious and due to her lacking education, also as superstitious.

Her marriage with Ivan V only produced daughters, so that when he died, she retired from Peter the Great's court. They were known to have had a good relationship. She enjoyed the western culture and gave her daughters a western education and often attended parties, theaters and gambled.

She died at age 59 of ill-health and hers was the first Imperial funeral in St. Petersburg.

Film: FRAGMENTS OF AN EMPIRE (d. Fridrikh Ermler, 1929, USSR)

Forum: Film Studies Center  Format: 35mm

Observations:  While not so well known as films by contemporaries Eisenstein, Vertov, and Pudovkin, this feature was every bit as self-assured and skillful as any feature in the Soviet canon. The main character (in a strong performance by Fyodor Nikitin) recovers from shell-shock and amnesia from WWI, awakening in a rebuilt socialist republic. (Interestingly, the story is not a 100% endorsement of the Soviet system, portraying its supporters in a less than flattering light.) It was screened with music performed by Donald Sosin. About 40 in attendance.
