1 answer

Yes, Ivan VI of Russia had a caretaker while he was in Kholmogory. His primary caretaker was a woman named Anna Leopoldovna, who was the mother of his future guardian, the Empress Anna. Anna Leopoldovna took care of him for a period of time in the remote location where he was held after being overthrown. However, the most notable caretaker during Ivan VI's early years in captivity was a man named Count Sergei Fedorovich Golovkin. Over time, various people were responsible for his care, but often they were men due to the context of his imprisonment and the political situation at the time. It's essential to clarify which specific period you are referring to, as various individuals might have taken different roles at different times.
