metadata.value: This article examines the scale of the propaganda for the Russian Empire in Mecklenburg.
  For many years, the Duchy in the north-east of the Holy Roman Empire had been one of the
  leading powers in the southern Baltic region. And although the political significance of Mecklenburg
  steadily faded after the Thirty Years’ War, the dukes continued to act on the European
  stage. In the 18th Century in particular, many and varied contacts arose between the Russian
  ruling house and that of Mecklenburg. Both the Tsars and the dukes were united in their efforts
  to prove their rank in the nobility and make themselves known to the outside world. In
  exploiting their dynastic relationships, very different media were used to present royal power.
  In this way, a Russian Imperial decoration might become the starting point for other representations
  of power. The Mecklenburg royal family were particularly concerned with emphasising
  the imperial rank of their allies. Undoubtedly, this involved associating the empire with Rome
  and its successors (“translatio imperii”), and references to a “Third Rome” which were also
  clearly made in Mecklenburg.
