It's said that you have seven seconds to make a first impression. Catherine the Great left an impression on everyone she worked with, so much so that her husband's military asked her blessing and her preference before they carried out a military coup which put her on the Russian throne. But she did not stop there; the impression she left on her people and her reputation of justice and equality led them to a golden age.
