she was checking if they were all loaded, they were which meant that somebody loaded them all possibly knowing that she plays that game and knowing it would be an easy thing to get away with
@hanksussyschrader I know what she was doing, but it's still funny that she's shooting a wooden floor on what's likely the second story of the building. It's just hilariously unsafe.
In Russian roulette one bullet will be in the gun and due to gravity it will always come and settle down. So the person cannot shoot themselves with it. It's just a way to test if the person is a spy or not . The person has to offer to shoot themselves to prove
sorry in advance if your comment was sarcasm but i don’t think she was broken after killing the guy. more like shocked because it actually hit her that she would be dead if she didn’t shoot him. i think that’s why she smiled after (i have never seen this movie and don’t know who it’s about)
@@brcsephina I think that’s what op meant- not broken over the guy who died, but the realization for herself. Never watched either lol but according to other comments she was already in a low point when she was doing this so makes sense
Im not sure, I took it more as one of those situations where when someone is very suicidal, but the moment the jump off the bridge, or kick the chair, they instantly regret it, and those that survive, like the rope breaking or just not drowning, end up completely having a different view of life. And I think that was expressed with her happily greeting her husband in the photo
By trying to kill her, the assassin saved her life from the game & the game saved her life from the assassin. Meaning, if she didn’t have a loaded gun in her hand about to play Russian roulette, then the assassin would have been able to shoot her. But if assassin didn’t come to kill her, she would have shot herself. So the two deadly forces canceled each other out.
Lol another reason for that is when you’re carrying a dead body out of the house its gonna face the door in a laying down position. The same position when you sleep
So there's no confusion - Catherine the Great didn't actually invent Russian Roulette. Nobody knows who invented it, but my best guess is that it was made up for a novel and then became kind of a real thing from that.
@@staomruel It was done, but other 'games' were more common, like forcing POWs to go through minefields or having them run away and using them for target practice. War is full of terrible things like this.

That is such a complex emotional twist man! Imagine having set up a game years ago from poor mental health, a degree of deniability for your unaliving thoughts, an all or nothing adrenaline rush for when you "need" it. And imagine you go to follow through, about pop yourself in the dome unknowingly. If it had happened, it would have been an betrayal of god, or just a brutal reality brought by her own hand, either one a valid interpretation. But imagine that complexity in the moment, feeling like it's time to put it all on the line, someone tries to take your life instead of your choice, so you take the chance to shoot back and the bullet meant for you to fulfill the purpose you sent into motion during times of mental illness, turns out to be your salvation. Thrilling. Then finding out shortly after that someone loaded them all that day.
I only realized afterward the 3 charged pistol at the end was planned by Ant Elizabeth to kill Catherine... I explain myself. 1) she knew about the new Russian bullet game of Catherine 2) Catherine asks the Royal Guards to charged the gun 3) soon after Ant E show Catherine that the Royal Gards are more loyal to her (they redused to obey C because A.E told them so) 4) FINALLY A.E is *suprised* to see C after she sat on the chair I belive because she thought C had already killed herself after she loaded all the guns. And that why she guve back the chair I think my theory works. But nobody talked about it in the comment
Even if it's a movie and not a show, Schindler's List comes really close to what happens when someone takes a bullet to the head. Look for the forced labor camp construction scene where an engineer is executed for arguing with the Nazis. I've (unfortunately) seen countless videos of executions over some 20 years on the internet and that bit during the scene was frighteningly realistic since the actress that portrayed the engineer was an actual gymnast. She falls down exactly like people do in real life, like a robot that suddenly ran out of battery and just slumps to the ground. The only thing avoiding her folding up like a pretzel are the tendons and joints that can't fold in ways they aren't designed for, even using residual energy stored in the muscles to bounce back up a little bit like I've seen some people do. Even the way the blood shoots out of her head looked like it was real, I'm absolutely sure that whoever was in charge on that set watched some of the same videos I did to use as reference for the way she reacted when shot.
@@kvassinc These are flintlocks, they don't have percussion caps. You can see the flints in the jaws. The weird thing is the flints didn't produce any sparks at all.
Considering those are flint lock pistols. You'd visually see which one didn't have a flint. The first two pistols didn't even hit a flint spark. But every other one did have a flint spark when it fired.
Turns out all the guns were loaded at the end... Maybe a different assassin saw she was playing a death game, and decided to try and be smart. Only he ended up helping her.
Roulette="little wheel". Russian Roulette is played with a revolver because you can spin the chamber (i.e. little wheel). What she's playing here is not Russian Roulette. It's just a deadly game of chance with three single shot black powder pistols. The "roulette" part is key in Russian Roulette! You play it with one revolver and spin the chamber and pass it round and spin the chamber before pulling the trigger. What shes playing doesn't make sense if she's the one loading the ammo since they are single shot...she would know which gun has the ammo (assuming she was the one who loaded it) and defeats the purpose of luck altogether. Playing real Russian Roulette randomizes the chance every time the chamber is spun.
@@toffee1234100 Nope. If you load the guns and they arent *exactly* identical you will always know. And guns in this era was deffinetly not identical even if they were brand new. Not to mention in this scene we even see they are not even the overal same design
it's still Russian Roulette if you're not the one that loaded the one gun and didn't see which one was loaded. It doesn't matter if a revolver was used. The only difference is in her case she had a 33% chance of shooting herself and with a revolver, you have a 17% chance.
If there is a 4th season, it would be funny if Marie Antoinette and Louis 16 would come to Catherine, who could escape from revolutionary France =) Toinette would start throwing all sorts of parties that Catherine doesn’t really like :)
"Blyat! What the fuck is that!?" "Moy droog, Catherine tries to kill herself again." "Ayy blyat I survived Chesma, hope for peaceful guard post in the palace and some psycho cyka shooting off in the middle of the night!"
1:01 Reminds of the story of one of the few people who survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. As soon as he jumped and realized he was in danger, he knew he wanted to live.
Gives me an idea for a Russian Assassin’s Creed game, play as her and instead of using your hidden blade. Your primary weapon is a gun and your main method of assassination is Russian roulette.
@@kloothommel6569 I like the idea of getting rid of the hidden blade concept and your main weapon being the revolver the Russian gun. Sure the classic sneak up stab with a knife you can do that, but I do like the idea of your main weapon being a gun for a big change in Assassins Creed
@@shruu1056 yeah, this is the moment that she realizes its not fate, its literally dumb luck that can be manipulated by anyone around her and that she needs to take control of her own life. Thats why in the end of the season she says “destiny didn’t make it, I did.” She was the one who rose to power and she is the one who is going to bring change, she is not going to let destiny do it all for her.
She does Russian roulette to test fate, she has the guards put 3 guns on the table but only one is unloaded. if she chooses the gun loaded and dies then it shows she just wasn’t meant to rule Russia (her whole thing is that she thinks being empress was her fate). So that time where she laughed was because earlier that day as she was putting one of the guns she chose to her head and was about to pull the trigger someone busts in the room trying to kill her so she instinctively shoots and kills that man with the gun she just had to her own head and just stands shocked that the gun was actually loaded. The reason she laughed here was cuz when she tries the other two guns later that day they’re both loaded. she realizes someone (probably the guards) rigged the guns for all of them to be loaded knowing she plays the game and it was yet another assassination attempt. This is funny because when only one gun isn’t loaded she always picked the unloaded gun, when all 3 are loaded she gets lucky and just kills yet another assassin with it while dodging a completely different assassination attempt, making viewers wonder if it really was Catherine’s fate to rule Russia.
That’s a completely false story. The myth probably grew out of foreign beliefs about Catherine’s promiscuity, but in truth she only had 20 (confirmed) lovers over around 50 years of being in Russia. She was more similar to a serial monogamist.

i think this was an assasination attempt from the person who walked in on her
Darwin was giving out awards even before he was born.

Honestly that’s how you know the world wants you to live.
If you know nothing of Russian history you might actually enjoy this series. Unfortunatelly, I know it and I can't enjoy it.
“Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun~ And baby if it’s not love. Then it isn’t fun.~ oh-woah-oh. Woah-oh, woah-oh.
I get them hot, show them what I got~”
Russian roulette was invented somewhere around 19th century by prison guards, forcing inmates to play the game, and bet on the outcome
THIS IS SHOW IS SO GOOD
2:01 why was she laughing?
Why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She’s probably gone mad
I’m not sure but I think someone loaded all of them and she then shot the someone on the floor based on the sound
I think she was laughing at superiority. Her husband tried to have her killed but she outsmarted him. I honestly don't know I had never seen it looks fun though 😜
Probably because whoever loaded the guns thought that at least one of those guns would kill her and still failed lol
Lol the assasin looks like the toys when Andy walk in to the room😂
Wait I thought this came from a movie.

bro is fuming in the afterlife knowing he didnt even have to try to kill her
