  • "A minor German princess with connections to Swedish royalty, the future Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia began as the handpicked bride of the future Czar. When he ascended the throne, Catherine plotted his overthrow, took power, and began to pull her country out of the dark ages. She led Russia for 30 years, creating an enviable dynasty build on cunning and ruthlessness, in addition to newfound notions of justice, progress, and a centralized government. Ahead of her time, Catherine the Great stands as a model for light in a time of great cultural and sociological darkness. In blending discussion of the facts by scholars--each presenting a particular slant on Catherine's life and conduct--with fictional recreations of pivotal events in her life, this film presents a well-rounded portrait of 18th Century Europe's most 'enlightened' despot."@en

  • "Dramatic telling of Catherine the Great's life interspersed with commentary from historians. Catherine arrived in Russia as a 15-year-old from a small German town. She became fluent in Russian and learnt to deal with the intrigue and treachery of the Russian court. When her chance came, Catherine seized power and her unpopular husband was murdered. The reign of Catherine the Great spanned 34 years. She strove to modernise Russia and waged wars of expansion, her lover Prince Potemkin ruling by her side."
  • "One of history's most powerful women; she was fearless in war and passionately in love. Catherine The Great tells her compelling story."

  • "This historical documentary was filmed on location across Russia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Combining Catherine's 'voice' as it emerges from letters, with dramatic re-enactments of the events of her life and reign, Catherine the Great also utilises CGI to recreate some of the spectacular battles and incidents of her imperial journey. She was a woman who kept detailed memoirs in which she wrote as openly of her love life as she did of her political ideology. A woman who corresponded with some of the great minds of the Enlightenment and who wrote some of the warmest love letters in history."@en
