Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The History of Russia continues with the reign of Catherine the Great, a time of cultural splendour, 'enlightened autocracy', and enormous territorial expansion. Catherine's reign saw the annexation of Crimea, and the Partition of Poland, and the settlement of Novorossiya by Russian colonists under the supervision of Count Potemkin. European migrants, such as the Volga Germans, settled in Russia, while Russia's new Jewish population lived within the 'Pale of Settlement'. Catherine was horrified by the execution of Louis XVI during the French Revolution, and turned her back on liberal ideas. The reign of her son, Paul, saw the great victories of Marshal Suvorov against Revolutionary France, but ended in the Emperor's murder during a palace coup. The reign of Emperor Alexander I saw modernising reforms by the brilliant Count Mikhail Speranksy, but was dominated by war with Napoleon. In 1812 the French Emperor invaded Russia, but following the Battle of Borodino and the burning of Moscow, he was forced to retreat, and his Grande Armee was destroyed. Alexander's reign also saw the annexation of Finland, expansion into the Caucasus and Balkans, and himself take the title 'King of Poland'

Hmm, so we got this female monarch who thinks she can actually _lead_ the realm and refuses to be just a pretty figurehead, with all sorts of reforms, progress and ideas of her own. That's totally unacceptable. What can we get on her? What? What did you say? She practices bestiality? Great, that sounds just great, let's go with that. We can say that she's otherwise kinky too. And decadent. Unladylike, even. What else? Keep it coming!

For us to follow and understand - using the map as the main scene is great, with the present year and rulers visable. Appealing music and the coherent pictures adds quality to your great narrating and voice. Thanks for your great work.

Under Stalin's orders the Volga Germans were deported east(to Siberia) where they lived happily ever after. No. They deid of fatigue and starvation in the work camps

I think the smartest leaders are people who are willing to learn. Educating your people is important, treating you people with respect is important.

what's up with the annoying background music, If I want to listen to the music I will not click on a history but on a music video.
reply

Why didn't you just make a music video and leave the history to someone who would not screw it up with annoying noise?

+What a roller-coaster ride History of Rus is. Magnificent at times, downright depressing at other times.

Do you know what exactly Suvorov founded Switzerland, giving the independence of the occupied territory?
