Alex Mikaberidze returns for another instalment of the series exploring the role of Russia in the Napoleonic era. In this episode we begin a multi-episode break down of the life of Catherine the Great, a much maligned, but also hugely influential figure in Russian history.
We discuss why Nicholas Holt's depiction of Tsar Peter III might not be entirely accurate, and what Catherine's early life was like.
