About this episode

<p><strong>🕯️👑 Catherine the Great didn’t inherit the throne—she took it.</strong> A German princess turned Russian empress, she outsmarted her enemies, rewrote the empire’s future, and managed to rule longer (and smarter) than most kings. Behind the portraits and scandals was a woman obsessed with art, philosophy, and power—and who turned chaos into an empire that glittered like frost on glass.</p><p>So close your eyes and drift into the candlelit halls of 18th-century Russia, where ambition wore silk, gossip ruled the court, and one woman became greater than her crown.</p><p>👉 <em>Boring History For Sleep</em> | Power, politics, and bedtime royalty. 💤</p><p></p>
