The age of Catherine the Great. Volgina S.

Sofia Volgin from childhood was interested in domestic history. Having written a novel about the deportation of Russian Greeks, covering the history of the half-century period of their life, she did not think that she would once write about even more. The theme of Russia, its spiritual development, the raising of the Russian spirit, the development of economics, culture, international position, love and devotion to the Motherland, a sense of pride in their people and many other aspects of the country's history have always been indifferent to it. Greek woman herself, she wanted to show how the German Angalt-Tsel Princess, who was in the Russian throne, became a Russian spirit and revered the Russian people the best in the whole world by the will of fate.

The author of the book wanted to show as much as possible life and activity, the psychology of relationships with favorites and surrounding nobles, diplomats, military leaders and ordinary people, covering the period of its entire thirty -year -old reign of Russia. Catherine the second was a great sovereign for the Russian people. She managed to leave the future of Russia the educated people of the new formation, for whom the honor and glory of the Fatherland was in the first place.
