Catherine always understood how to build alliances, and more than that, she was also a tireless reformer who lived to work. Steering her fellow countrymen into doing what she wanted was one of her best skills, but it was also an environment conducive to her and her methods despite her lack of a true Russian background. Still, what were her most deep-rooted personal fears, and her most glorious public achievements? What is her story?
