Catherine the Great

Series "Great beauties". Catherine was not afraid of Siberia, or her husband, or the devil, she knew how to love recklessly, at the risk of her life, and was ready to lose her head from love, even in the literal sense of the word. That is why, and not only because of wealth and power, she remained desirable for men to a ripe old age! About times, about mores! The Grand Duchess runs out on dates to her lover, disguised as a man's; the heir to the throne publicly declares his wife's infidelity, but her favorite ends up not in Siberia, but on the Polish throne, and the "traitor" herself overthrows her husband and tries on the Crown of the Russian Empire! ..
