in 1779. Everyone already calls Empress
Catherine II the Great at the instigation of her closest associate, the
influential Princess Dashkova. His 
Serene Highness Prince Potemkin, the
former favorite and married husband of Catherine, remains a faithful
comrade-in-arms and, in fact, the second 
person in the state. The
personal life of the empress, as before, is full of passions and love
affairs. However, despite everything, Catherine does not 
forget about
important state affairs. Among them is a manifesto on succession to the
throne. The Empress decides to transfer the throne to her grandson 
Alexander, bypassing the legal heir - her son Pavel. However, the
Tsarevich is not going to give up his rights and will fight to the end! A
new struggle for 
power begins. As you know from your history lessons, her son took over the power, but lasted very short and was succedeed by Alexander who became one of Russia's biggest rulers thanks to grandmother's teachings.

i must see this, Yekaterina is one of the 20 best period pieces I have ever watched.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw just the first two, but I am not sure. It is interesting that the other Catherine the Great series VELIKAYA is also getting a new season.
DeleteBeautiful costumes and make up is spot on...
ReplyDeleteThe make up is not too tacky like in some other period set shows where they put modern Revlon on them LOL
DeleteNot my kind of show but I love the dresses.
ReplyDeleteThey probably had fun wearing them.
DeleteWhy do I think of Cruella D'evil with that first dress? LOL With that aside, I do think this one will be a good watch.
ReplyDeleteThe other one, meanwhile, looks like she is wearing an apron.
