Она является одной из самых известных и влиятельных фигур в истории России. Екатерина пришла к власти после свержения своего мужа, Петра III, и вошла в историю как просвещённый монарх, активно содействовавший расширению и модернизации России. Екатерина провела ряд важных реформ, направленных на укрепление государственной власти и развитие культуры. Её правление ознаменовалось значительными территориальными приобретениями, включая включение Крыма и частей Польши. Екатерина также активно взаимодействовала со многими выдающимися умами своего времени, включая Вольтера и Дидро, и её вклад в развитие идеалов Просвещения в России был значителен. Екатерина не смогла полностью преодолеть устойчивые феодальные порядки, и крепостное право оставалось неизменным до конца её царствования. Её правление оставило глубокий след в истории России. Translation: Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, ruled the Russian Empire in the 18th century. She is one of the most famous and influential figures in Russian history. Catherine came to power after overthrowing her husband, Peter III, and entered history as an enlightened monarch who actively contributed to the expansion and modernization of Russia. Catherine carried out a number of important reforms aimed at strengthening state power and developing culture. Her reign was marked by significant territorial acquisitions, including the inclusion of Crimea, and parts of Poland. Catherine also actively interacted with many of the leading minds of her time, including Voltaire and Diderot, and her contribution to the development of Enlightenment ideals in Russia was significant. Catherine was unable to completely overcome the entrenched feudal orders, and serfdom remained unchanged until the end of her reign. Her rule left a deep mark in the history of Russia. *** Slow Russian Podcast Transcript and audio download for $20 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/slowrussian Join my free email course with A LOT of useful materials for self-learning – http://realrussianclub.com/subscribe My premium step-by-step course for Russian language learners – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/ Get all three levels together and save $102 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/bundles/all-of-from-zero-to-fluency UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (new cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)– https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/understanding-russia
