[Regnum] In the Russian military-historical archive, one of the first decrees of Emperor Peter II, signed by him in 1727, was replaced, the Telegram channel " 112 " reported, citing an informed source.

The substitution was discovered by the deputy director of the archive, Vasilisa Denisova. "The decree of Emperor Peter II to the Military Collegium on the removal of Famentsyn from the post of commandant of St. Petersburg and the appointment of Prince G. A. Urusov in his place. September 9, 1727" is a dummy, the material says.

It is not yet known who and when replaced the document. Law enforcement officers are conducting an investigation, the authors also noted.
Thank goodness they noticed. Here’s hoping the original is quickly found and is unharmed.
Peter II (grandson of Peter I, son of Tsarevich Alexei) was born in 1715 and ascended the throne in 1727. Three years later he died of smallpox.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier in October, Moscow residents received an additional opportunity to search for information about their ancestors and compile a family tree - they can be found in the capital's Main Archive, which published documents from 1812 in the virtual museum "Moscow - with care for history."

Earlier, an archive was discovered in Moscow that could have belonged to the writer and journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky. The materials were handed over to the city's cultural heritage department by one of Moscow's historians. He acquired the archives at a book stall. Among the artifacts found were letters addressed to Gilyarovsky, business cards, notes written in his hand, articles, essays, and reviews.
