under the reign of elizabeth, the russian court was one of the most splendid in all europe. foreigners were amazed at the sheer luxury of the sumptuous balls and masquerades. the russian court had steadily increased in importance throughout the 18th century and came to hold more cultural significance than many of its western counterparts due its inclusive nature; any “well to do inhabitants” were welcome at court. the court, like most imperial courts, was considered a reflection of the ruler at its center and elizabeth was said to be “the laziest, most extravagant and most amorous of sovereigns.” elizabeth was intelligent but lacked the discipline and early education necessary to flourish as an intellectual; she found the reading of secular literature to be “injurious to health.” she was kind and warm-hearted for the emotion's sake alone, once going so far as to offer to finance the reconstruction of lisbon after the 1755 earthquake destroyed the portuguese city despite having and wanting no diplomatic relationship with the nation. she hated bloodshed and conflict and went to great lengths to alter the russian system of punishment, even outlawing capital punishment. even in court this peacemaker spirit made itself evident. according to historian robert nisbet bain, it was one of elizabeth's “chief glories that, so far as she was able, she put a stop to that mischievous contention of rival ambitions at court, which had disgraced the reigns of peter ii, anne and ivan vi, and enabled foreign powers to freely interfere in the domestic affairs of russia.” she was also deeply religious, passing several pieces of legislation that undid much of the work her father had done to limit the power of the church. yet of all her various characteristics manifested in the structure of court life the most evident were her extravagance, her vanity, and her gaiety and playful nature.
