Catherine the Great - Not Quite Empress Yet - Extra History - #2

Listen to this Extra History series as a podcast! http://becausegamesmatter.com/podcast
Sophia's excitement to meet her future husband deflated when she realized Peter III was a boor who cared nothing about Russia. By contrast, she threw herself into learning the culture with such vigor that she earned the love of the people. She was rechristened Catherine and married Peter... but when he became emperor, his mistakes and her popularity began to add up to a crisis situation.
