How Catherine Became "the Great"

Catherine the Great has peaked the interest of scholarly and general audiences alike. Though her reign ended in 18th Century Russia, her life is still sparking global dramatic intrigue, from Hulu's highly contested 2020 release "The Great" to Helen Mirren's four-part BBC series.

Hosted by Catherine the Great expert Dr. Hilde Hoogenboom, this "Second Saturday" lecture from the Russian History Museum analyzes and unravels some mysteries surrounding Catherine's life --and afterlife-- as depicted in arts and culture. What can Catherine's memoirs tell us about her day to day life? What's fact and what's fabrication?
