Anna Ioannovna, Elizaveta Petrovna and, finally, Catherine the Great. Those times were called the women's century of Russian history. In those years, the beginning of women's education in Russia was laid, the most beautiful buildings of the classical era were built, and balls and masquerades organized by the royal court took place almost every day. How did the women on the throne live, what did they think about, what made them happy and what made them sad? The empresses themselves can tell this best. This publication contains letters and diaries of the greatest women in Russian history, revealing all the details of the lives of royalty.
