Empress of Russia

Catherine the Great

A German princess who took the Russian throne in a coup against her husband and ruled for thirty-four years, expanding the empire and corresponding with Voltaire.

Catherine II, commonly known as Catherine the Great, was the Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796. She came to power after a coup d'état against her husband, Peter III. Her long reign helped Russia thrive under a golden age during the Enlightenment. This renaissance led to the founding of many new cities, universities, and theatres, along with large-scale immigration from the rest of Europe and the recognition of Russia as one of the great powers of Europe.
