Catherine II was the Empress of Russia for 34 years, She came to power following the assassination of her husband. Russia was revitalized under her reign, growing larger and stronger than ever and becoming recognized as one of the great powers of Europe. The period of her rule is often considered the Golden Age of the Russian Empire. Famed for her three passions - art, culture and sex, Catherine The Great is many things to many people... A charismatic leader who changed history... A revolutionary hero who saved a nation... A murderous tyrant who killed her husband... A LONELY woman who had sex with MANY men. Written by
