Summary

Robert Kinloch Messie: Catherine the Great - Portrait of a Woman

Beginning this exceptional biography with a description of the historical and political circumstances that led to the arrival of Sophia of Anhalt-Zerbst in Russia and her marriage to the Russian heir to the throne Peter, Messie leads us, through magnificent images of the reign of Empress Elizabeth, to the story of Catherine's childhood, which is crucial for illuminating some of her later actions, decisions and attitudes, thereby sharpens the contrast between the young and idealistic and the older, harshly realistic Catherine.

Catherine - empress, a magnificent ruler who continued where Peter the Great left off almost forty years before her: she added large territories to Russia, gave her access to the Black Sea and established her second fleet, wisely waged wars, suppressed rebellions and, above all, Europeanized the country. During her reign, an unprecedented number of death sentences will be carried out, hospitals and orphanages will be established, people will begin to be vaccinated against smallpox, and works of art will pour into Petrograd and Moscow, including artists and intellectuals from all over Europe.

The biography of Catherine the Great would certainly not be complete if her famous love life were omitted. With the most meticulous historical accuracy, Robert Massey records the stories of Catherine's "favorites", sometimes bitter, sometimes tricky, richly illustrating this and all other aspects of her life with the letters and diaries of her contemporaries, painting a vivid portrait of "not only the Russian titan but a woman of flesh and blood".
