Catherine II de Russie (1729-1796) est l’un des personnages les plus mythiques de l’Histoire russe. Et pourtant cette impératrice n’a pas une seule goutte de sang russe… Rien ne prédestine cette petite princesse allemande, née Sophie Frédérique Augusta d’Anhalt-Zerbst en 1729 à Stettin en Poméranie, à devenir un jour impératrice de toutes les Russies, héritière spirituelle de Pierre le Grand. Sa vie est un véritable roman avec ses débuts difficiles, de nombreux obstacles jonchés sur son chemin, un couronnement suivi de triomphes militaires et politiques et de grandes déceptions qui parsèment sa vie privée. Tantôt glorifiée en tant que disciple des Lumières et amie des philosophes français, tantôt vilipendée à cause de l’aggravation du servage ou coupable de régicide, Catherine II est un mythe qui vacille entre légende noire ou dorée. Qu’une femme gouverne. Passe. Élisabeth l’avait précédée. Mais qu’une femme réforme un empire aussi vaste, aussi orthodoxe, aussi archaïque dans ses traditions oligarchiques ! Et qu’elle veuille mener sa vie privée comme un homme suscite un flot de fantasmes et d’affabulations. Trop de liaisons. Trop d’amours. Trop de tapages font d’elle une nouvelle Messaline, qui préfère ses amants – de plus en plus jeunes et beaux – à la transmission du sang pur des Romanov. Aujourd’hui, Catherine est de nouveau au goût du jour en Russie : son mythe impérial incarne les nouveaux désirs de l’État post-soviétique. C’est elle qui rattache la Crimée à l’Empire russe en 1783 et c’est Vladimir Poutine qui l’annexe de nouveau à la fédération de Russie en 2014… Derrière cette nébuleuse, l’auteur dresse le portrait tout en finesse d’une femme ordinaire, avec ses joies et chagrins, ses espérances et ses déboires. Visage réel et humain tiré de ses Mémoires, correspondance et écrits.

These are the memoirs written by one of the most famous women rulers in history, Russian Empress Catherine the Great. She has long been remembered not only as one of the most powerful women of her time but also one of the most powerful and capable rulers in all of Europe. And her path to the throne was just as remarkable as her reign. In a story that sounds like it could have been a precursor to Cinderella, Catherine the Great was born into a family of minor nobility, but she managed to forge her own destiny through her own cunning use of diplomacy and intrigue, gradually gaining allies and power. By 1762, she confident enough to conspire against her own husband, Peter III, whose reign as Tsar lasted just six months before his arrest at the hands of his wife. Upon his arrest and death, Catherine took power as the regent for their son, Grand Duke Paul. Despite the strong-arm tactics, Catherine came to power in the midst of the Enlightenment, which was flourishing in France and Britain, and she would rule as an Enlightened ruler. A known correspondent of Voltaire's, Catherine sought to modernize Russia and turn it into a force in its own right, creating a rich and cultured court at the same time. Over the course of nearly 35 years in power, Catherine ushered in the Russian Enlightenment and presided over a period of time known as the Golden Age of the Russian Empire. Given her length of reign, forceful character, and lasting legacy, it was inevitable that legends about Catherine the Great would also pop up in the wake of her death. To an extent, certain legends have overshadowed her actual accomplishments, even as they continue to be circulated.

Neither a comprehensive 'life and times' nor a conventional biography, this is an engaging and accessible exploration of rulership and monarchial authority in eighteenth century Russia. Its purpose is to see how Catherine II of Russia conceived of her power and how it was represented to her subjects. Simon Dixon asks essential questions about Catherin'es life and reign, and offers new and stimulating arguments about the Englightenment, the power of the monarch in early modern Europe, and the much-debated role of the "great individual" in history.
