Catherine wanted to free the serfs, but given that she needed the nobles support, she couldn't do so. She was an enlightened ruler who proved that women could rule without a man by her side the way Elizabeth I did.
Catherine was never a dunkard. Her mother was a self absorbed Narcissist who spent the money Empress Elizabeth sent her for Katherine (Sofia at the time) on dresses for her self nothing. She ignored Sofia and resented she was a girl then spied at the russian court which got her sent back home. Katherine / renamed by the empress accepted the Russian religion, court ways and lauguage. She made friends with her fiance Peter only to later be ignored and use by them. She was totally abandoned right after child birth each time and bother her kids were taken from her by the Empress Elizabeth and raised by her. When Peter became Emperor she tried to suport him but he flaunted his mistress in front of her and intended to divorce her. He was ruining the country the folks it was either her or him. She launched a coup then took over. He was later killed by her lovers family and she ruled Russia fairly well and for many years. She wasn't called the great for no reason. Only two russian rullers have have been called Great. Peter the Great and Katherine the Great. Just saying.
Thank you for sharing this historical perspective on Catherine the Great. It's fascinating to learn more about her life and achievements. History is indeed rich with complex stories and characters.

@@user-gd4tn3hb7c please let me know where exactly Russia is now so you are so sad? During the time of E-II cities Odessa and Kherson were established and Crimea taken from tatars. So now Russia is respecting her heritage and restoring it in so many ways )))

there were 2 Catherine Catherine married by luck to Peter the Great , and Catherine the great , German princess , married to Russian prince Paul ,who was grand son of Peter the great , from his daughter , was living in German , not speaking Russian , only French and German . when he became Emperor then Catherine became Empress . Catherine the Great was smart , leading country to prosperity.
Sophie arrived in Russia at age 15 ! Just from the beginning of the documentary , her image is so far from the girl from the old german aristocratic family ( even if she was considered a tomboy in her childhood ) , that i refused to watch it further !
Nope it’s called courtly intrigue and most courts did indeed have the walls listening and it was always best to keep your tongue because one wrong word could have your head detached from your shoulders so it was best to be paranoid 😅

And the way the CHINESE empresas did, and the way Marie Antoinette did... Don't bring modern feminism intro the picture. IT'S nonsense
@@EugeniadellaMarie Antoinette never ruled, she was married to the King.

What about Ivan the great
@@joelburtis it not a bell tower in Kremlin? the ruler who ordered to build it was Ivan Kalita, actually

Blame the Mommy not the lady!
Thankyou very much for this documentary. I was searching for it. It is one of the great documentary that i have ever watched of Catherine the great.
Glad you enjoyed the film! Stay tuned for more! 👍🏽❤️🎬
This is true. Peter despised Catherine. She was able to gain the loyalty of the military and the church. And get rid of Peter.

The Sub-titles DON'T match the dialogues !!!
They’re dubbed from a different language so we don’t need subtitles.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏽❤️🎬
@@tiasara5967exactly I hate reading subtitles wish they always had English
there were 2 Catherine
Catherine married by luck to Peter the Great ,
and Catherine the great , German princess , married to Russian prince Paul ,who was grand son of Peter the great , from his daughter , was living in German , not speaking Russian , only French and German .

5:55 sounds like paranoia

Ivan the sixth should have had a proper reign.

I'm sure here for Catherine and the horse 🐎🐴
Thanks for your comment! 👍🏽❤️🎬
You know that's a myth, right?
@@irawilliams343 of course I know that. I was expecting a reference from her enemies at the court at some point.
Is this factual ? Just wondering
👍🏽❤️🎬
This was so terrible. Kept waiting for it not to be, but that never happened.

Worst rendition of the story of Catherine the Great I have ever seen
It's unfortunate that the portrayal didn't meet your expectations. Different interpretations can resonate differently with viewers.
@@sagharforouhi1759Are you Syrian?
@@MoïsePicard-ef8fr no, why do you ask?
@@sagharforouhi1759 I was curious.
This b.. h never was Great.. one metro women with fake power . Think it's great ..
