Catherine The Great: The truth about Catherine's life and success principles revealed
Do you want to learn about Catherine The Great?
Born on April 21, 1729, Princess Sophie Auguste Frederike von Anhalt-Zerbst died of a stroke on November 6, 1796, as Empress Catherine II of Russia. The space between her birth and death is divisible into three parts, with each transformation of her identity, Catherine acquired a different title and name to match her new role. From 1729 to 1744, she was Princess Sophie, the daughter of German nobles, from 1745 to 1762, she was Grand Duchess Ekaterina Alekseevna, wife of the heir to the Russian throne and mother of his son and successor, and finally, from 1762 to 1796, she was Empress Catherine II.
The opening of her last memoir indicates that her mother's family connections-more than Catherine's personality, experiences, or desire for glory-paved the way for her marriage to Peter III, who was Catherine's second cousin. Catherine's mother, Princess Johanna Elisabeth (1712—60), came from the same German family as Peter III, the house of Holstein-Gottorp (1544 —1773).
For more than three decades in the late 18th century, one woman ruled with an iron fist over all of Russia. That woman was Catherine the Great, and the power she held as a woman led the press as well as world leaders to crucify her for it.
