The Age of Catherine the Great

Sofia Volgin from childhood was interested in Russian history. Having written a novel about the deportation of Russian Greeks, covering the history of the half-century period of their life, she did not think that she would once write about even more. The theme of Russia, its spiritual development, the raising of the Russian spirit, the development of economics, culture, international position, love and devotion to the Motherland, a sense of pride in their people and many other aspects of the country"s history have always been indifferent to it. Greek woman herself, she wanted to show how a German, who was in the Russian throne, became a Russian spirit, and revered the Russian people the best in the whole world. The author of the book wanted to show as much as possible life and activity, the psychology of relationships with favorites and surrounding nobles, diplomats, military figures and ordinary people, covering the period of its entire thirty -four -year -old rule of Russia
