Catherine II is one of the most prominent figures of the Enlightenment. Little Princess Fike became the most Russian of the German rulers of Russia and the last autocratic empress in its history. The reign of Catherine ended the brilliant “eighteenth century” - the century of bloody riots, military and diplomatic victories, the century of rampant serfdom and Saltychikha. A true daughter of her time, Catherine is woven from contradictions: a republican at heart and a supporter of serfdom in practice, a champion of morality, nicknamed the northern Cybele. She was friends with Voltaire and Diderot, but sent the educator Novikov to prison. Her subjects called her “mother”, and her own son hated her. A new book in the series “The Most Complete Biography” will tell about the fate of Catherine. Why didn't the Empress like dresses with figs? What is the true cause of the death of her husband, Emperor Peter III? What disease did you save your grandson Alexandra from? Did Catherine really meet with Emelyan Pugachev? The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
