The author used a truly huge array of documentary materials, replenishing well -known publications with new archival discoveries. He found the first two Russian biographies of Potemkin, written immediately after the death of the prince by his closest employee, but never released.
As it was possible to install, they were written by a student of Lomonosov Luca Ivanovich Sichkarev. The famous translator-polyplot boldly opposed Potemkin"s bullyers, proving that Russia had lost a person who was not like that. " He raised the question: "How are such people are born?" A convincing answer is given by a new biography of the brightest Prince of Tauride.
In the "Tales", the co -ruler and secret husband of Catherine the Great appears as an outstanding state and military figure, a strategist who acconditionly joined the Crimean Khanate, a reformer of the army, the creator of the Black Sea Fleet, the builder of cities in the Northern Black Sea Region.
