概要
This episode explores the life of Catherine the Great, a German-born princess who rose to become Empress of Russia through a strategic coup. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas, she sought to modernize Russia through reforms in law, education, and culture, while expanding the empire’s territory and influence.
Her reign strengthened Russia’s position as a major European power, but also revealed deep contradictions, as she maintained systems like serfdom to preserve stability. After facing rebellion, she balanced reform with control, ensuring her authority remained secure.
Catherine the Great’s legacy lies in her ability to transform Russia while managing the complex realities of ruling a vast empire. She showed that modernization is not just about ideas, but about power, timing, and survival.
