đŻď¸đ Catherine the Great didnât inherit the throneâshe took it. A German princess turned Russian empress, she outsmarted her enemies, rewrote the empireâs future, and managed to rule longer (and smarter) than most kings. Behind the portraits and scandals was a woman obsessed with art, philosophy, and powerâand who turned chaos into an empire that glittered like frost on glass.
So close your eyes and drift into the candlelit halls of 18th-century Russia, where ambition wore silk, gossip ruled the court, and one woman became greater than her crown.
