Who was Catherine the Great? You definitely know the name but probably not the life of the fascinating woman behind it. In reality, the Russian empress truly earned her The Great epithet, though her achievements weren't necessarily good. Born a minor German princess, Catherine married the heir to the Russian throne, tossed him out of power, and became a powerful ruler in her own right. Many Catherine the Great biographies mention her vigorous foreign and domestic policies as well as her tyrannical tendencies. But when she wasn't ruling, what did Catherine the Great do?

Alexander and Konstatine could be twins they look so alike down to the hair. I thought you showed a picture of Alexander for a minute. If you want to see a good documentary on Catherine the Great and Alexander as well as Peter (her husband) and Paul (her son) there is a good one from Star Media about the Romanov line. Its about 7 hours long and they go from the first Romanov (Michael) to the last (Nicholas ll. Its very good!
Your videos are very good as well and addicting. I came across your site yesterday and have watched several videos so far! You also put humor into it which makes it even better!

Queen Boudicca? Not sure if I spelled that right.
Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt.
And as far as Catherines love life goes, she doesnt sound any worse than male counterparts. And Id argue that a playgirl queen should be LESS stigmatized than a playboy king since women can only have so many illegitimate children whereas its possible for men to have an armys worth of children

Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte also had a crisis on the porcelain throne, before being assisted to his bed where he died in delirium. England's Prince Regent died from straining too hard pushing out a choice number when suffering from constipation. One of his forbears, I believe, died when he fell down the privy. All in all, being a monarch or head of state, can be a bum wrap.

Yep. A strong woman who has worked her way to the top has either slept her way there or is a ball breaker. God forbid she got there on her on brains. When I first went to college in the 1980s I was told I would have to give 150% to earn any respect while my male counterparts only had to give 60% to earn the same and be paid more. Hasnt changed much in the last 40 years as it!

I've always loved and admired Catherine. it does suck that she wasn't the best mother to her son but it wasn't entirely her fault. he had been taken from her when he was born by Elizabeth when he was born and basically worshipped who he thought his father was, which was the husband Catherine hated so much. it doesn't excuse her but it explains it

I wonder how many people caught the part about being early adopters of inoculations. You were right, it not being a bad idea. It's a stupendously terrible idea to not wait until an inoculation has undergone rigorous and adequate testing, especially when it's connected to globalists who want to depopulate the world.

Casanova and Catherine was knocking boots? I did not know Elizabeth promise not to be cruel leader and give orders to put individuals to death. During her reign no was put to death. Maybe why she didn't put Ivan to death as soon as she kicked him off the throne.

What always bugs me regarding Catherine the Great is the fact that although many men had multiple women and it was silently or openly taken (the wife just had to endure it, when a woman did exactly the same, she was shamed. go to hell double standards

She had her nasty qualities as well. She kept the king of Poland in humiliating captivity at her court, treating him as a kind of human pet. She loved her power, and often used it in rather nasty ways. But that is the way of all royals. Yuck!

The More I Hear about Those European Monarchs the More I turn Republican Sympathetic
If you didn't love him why you took his Empire? Or why Did you let none Romenov in Throne? You were not Great but Wh

This doesn't really tell a lot about her accomplishments or her political moves. Catherine was a beast and her lovers tended to be her stepping stones in achieving what she wanted.
reply

She's supposedly my ancestor on my father's mother's side. Cool to know she ruled with an iron fist, just like my grandmother (at least in the house. I guess it runs in the family!

Super interesting woman. Too bad both series recently on Hulu and HBO both completely sucked. Ekaterina on Prime is awesome tho if you don't mind subs, extremely well done.

The real story is far more interesting than how the Netflix show portrayed it. Why did they change it and dumb it down? Opens the news Oh. right, that's why.

I did READ somewhere; about Catherine n Horse, but then I ignored it. But now I am surprised to hear about her friendship with Horse; as been narrated here again.

I swear that by the 12 sec mark I heard a know for her vigorous porn and foreign policies ) had to do a triple take to take my mind out of the gutter there!
