A recent attempt at a "rehabilitation" that is not too convincing is H. Fleischhacker, "Portrat Peters III," Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas, Neue Folge V (1957), 127-89.

11. Fond 248, No. 3426, 17 Jan. 1762, f. 283 (§24). Note elliptic and incorrect syntax.

12. The only exception is the terse notation, ibid., 18 Jan. 1762, f. 316, that Procurator-General A. Glebov suggested the erection of a golden statue of Peter III in gratitude for his concern for the nobility. There is no record of action taken on this proposal.

13. Fond 248, No. 3427, 18 Feb. 1762, ff. 134-38, 19 Feb. 1762, f. 171.

14. Rubinshtein has used the minutes of the Committee on the Freedom of the Nobility of the Commission of Codification, Fond 16, No. 235. His argument rests on the Sinking of individual dignitaries and high officials to specific interest groups within the nobility. For the latter the evidence is very indirect and at best highly circumstantial.

15. Fond 248, No. 3429, 19 Apr. 1762, ff. 175, 177-78. See also Peter the Great's Table of Ranks, PSZ 3890.

18. I. Shuvalov had already suggested the idea in May 1761.
