Catherine the Great!.. Indeed, she was great in all her plans, works, and creative scope throughout her rather long life—half of which was thirty-four years—when she ruled the Russian state.
Peter cut a window into Europe—Catherine, in that place of the window, opened wide doors through which into Russia came everything advanced, sensible, wise that was in Western Europe. Her administrative and political mind, clear foresight of a commander, broad plans that seemed fantastic to contemporaries—plans she carried out; her literary and journalistic talents, her charming character, and her beauty—all combined in her so she could shine for half a century. She stood at such a height that she seemed unreachable, yet she was so easily accessible.
She was praised, her glories were sung, she was celebrated… People envied her; people slandered her. She had many friends and even more enemies.
The story of this extraordinary woman awaits you in this audiobook.
