Catherine the Great also known as Catherine the second was a strong woman who reigned from 1729 till 1796. When Catherine was a czar he was very successful, and overcame a lot of new lands. Catherine came into power through acoup d'état also a fancy French word for assassination. Even though Catherine was a strong czar what it took to get there included her husband consistently making threats to bring his mistress into power with him and not Catherine. Catherine had great accomplishments like expanding borders in Russia. Which is great especially for a woman. Catherine also made substantial gains in Poland. Although Catherine had great achievments she did not assume any policies.
The impact on Russia was huge not only was it very rare to see a female czar in power it was even harder to see a female czar in power that took control and expanded territories much like Catherine did. If Catherine did take Domestic policies and Foreign policies much like other czars in Russia did I believe that impact and legacy left on Russia would have been even higher, and more impressionable.
