"You know, Scandinavians have VIKINGS, Italians have BORGIAS, Brits have TUDORS, so why wouldn't dear mother Russia have her own epic show depicting a part of their glorious and heroic history! Russian Channel One is preparing a lavishly epic historical series CATHERINE THE GREAT with Yulia Snigir playing the legendary Russian tzarina! The first season of 12 episodes, to arrive to the small screens in December, will capture the period from 1744 to 1762. She arrived from Germany to Russia as a German princess who will become the wife of Peter Fedorovich, the successor of the Russian throne. After being taught how to rule by Russian empress Elizabeth, 17 years later during the 1762 palace revolution Catherine's husband was dethroned and she ascended to the throne as the new Empress of Russia. From arriving to the foreign country as a young girl to becoming the ruler of world's biggest empire, decades of her life were filled with treacherous games of high society, conspiracies, intrigues, betrayals and infidelities! Russian moviemaker Igor Zaytsev is helming the series which was done in the luxurious style seen in TUDORS and ROME. The second and the third season are expected to cover the years of her rule after the revolution"

Believing in the "Horse Incident" shows nothing but how gullible you are. |

I don't know John. The real Catherine looks a bit horse-faced……
& the movie one is definitely a cute filly. |

Now I have a good reason to justify the homosexuality of Frederick the Great…..And I will not talk of Elizabeta Petrovna or Maria Theresa….. |

I assume all of you have seen the movie "Great Catherine" with Peter O'Toole, Jack Hawkins, can't remember the female lead's name. A must for wargamers! |

Dear Terrament Those are all pictures of Catherine in middle age. When she was young she was a fair looker. Same with Maria Theresia, we are familiar mostly with pictures in Old age, quite differnet from the big-blue eyed blonde with the big bosom when she came to the throne. Otto |
