6993historical_info = flavor_rus.64.historical_info Ernst Johan von Biron was an advisor and possibly lover to Empress Anna Ioannovna. He was of noble german origin, wielded considerable power at the Russian court, and became a dependent for the Empress who sought to assert her authoritarian rule. Lauded for his administrative skills, he remained unpopular in Russia due to his foreign descent combined with the power he held over the estates and the considerable wealth he accumulated as a result of his position. His time at court was nicknamed 'Bironovshchina', meaning the German yoke, referencing the days of Tatar rule.
