Catherine the Great
A German Princess on the Russian Throne
Catherine was born in 1729 as German princess Sophie Auguste Friederike of Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg in the north of Germany.
The ambitious young princess always knew what she wanted - she wanted power. With a clever coup d’état she made her way to the top of the Russian Empire and became one of the most powerful women in history. She did not fear to murder and to use her influence. Trying to present a spotless picture to the rest of Europe she exploited the country and the men around her. A most interesting character, that will take you to the golden age of the Russian Empire!
60 minutes, with many pictures from St.Petersburg and Moscow. Also in combination with a Russian Dinner or Concert
