Strong, determined, cultured and desperate for true love. Catherine the Great was Russia's longest ruling female leader. She was also its last. In hindsight, her rise to power was no accident.

Great podacst, i truly enjoyed listening to this<3 but i've heard things before that i really wanna say. as far as i know, Catherine (and her lover) had Tsar Peter III, taken into custody (with the help of part of the army, the troops of the guards regiments ofc) after his attempt seize power. he very mysteriously died shortly after (very poignant🧐) and also, she used to call him "child husband" which i cannot deny (dude he was playing on his marringe night. even though ik he was only 17) but the thing that's clear was she wanted the change !
interesting 👌👌 but how could we have the full transcription ? would you please release it on your site or somewhere?
