Abstract
In the year 1762, an extraordinary German princess was crowned empress of Russia. She had entered Russia with no knowledge of the language, no acquaintance with the man she would be forced to marry, and no prescience that she would be required to embrace the Orthodox faith before ascending the throne. Despite this, she became Russia’s beloved “Little Mother,” and she is now remembered as one of the most important women in the history of the world. Catherine the Great, the Czarin of Russia, left lasting impacts in more ways than one.
