In the last book about the golden age of Empress Catherine the Second, Sofia Volgina showed the final stage of the glorious life path of the Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great. The path was not easy, filled with political and intra-palace intrigues, wars, and losses of loved ones. However, the strength of her spirit, the ability to foresee, coupled with a clear mind, concern for the Russian Empire and the people inhabiting it, continued to work for the glory of the state and the empress. Catherine passed away suddenly, leaving many unfinished matters. Her premature departure was mourned by the people and those around her devoted to her, since Russia owes much of its Greatness to its Great Ruler, Catherine the Second.
