For the premiere of the love-historical television series “Catherine the Great”! A moving novel about first love and the accession to the throne of the greatest of Russian empresses, whose reign earned the glory of the “golden age.” “I forgot that there is Siberia,” Stanislav Poniatovsky wrote in his diary after the first night with Catherine, who had not yet gotten rid of her insignificant husband. This stormy romance could have become suicide for her - but unlike her favorite, Catherine was not afraid of Siberia, nor her husband, nor the devil, she knew how to love recklessly, at the risk of her life, and was ready to lose her head in love, even in the literal sense of the word. Oh times, oh morals! The Grand Duchess runs on dates to her lover, dressed in a man's dress; the heir to the throne publicly declares his wife’s infidelity, but her favorite ends up not in Siberia, but on the Polish throne. And the “cheater” herself overthrows her husband and tries on the crown of the Russian Empire!
