Shownotes Transcript

Catherine the Great was one of the most influential rulers in Russian history, transforming the Russian Empire into a major European power through territorial expansion, internal reforms, and cultural patronage. 

Her reign marked the pinnacle of Enlightened Absolutism in Russia, as she embraced Western philosophical ideals while consolidating autocratic rule.

She modernized administration, promoted education and the arts, and extended Russia’s borders through diplomacy and military conquest.

Learn more about Catherine the Great and how she managed to change Russia on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
