The reign of Empress Catherine II reached its culminating point. Russia gained reputation of a dominant and most influential world power, and its sovereign, after some greatest defeats of the Russian Army over all-powerful Turkish Sultan in the Russo-Turkish Wars and a number of domestic reforms, – of a keen and all-respected monarch. Despite being an astute politician and ferocious empress Catherine II was just a woman who could not resist an ardent look and passionate speech of a handsome man Grigory Potemkin. The new favorite became the Empress’s adjutant and settled in the Winter Palace, while the former one, Count Orlov, took the path of betrayal and intrigues to return the power over the country, if not Catherine’s love, at all costs.
