Publisher Description The fascinating story of a young Russian filmmakers attempts to portray Catherine the Great, before and after the collapse of the Soviet UnionCatherine the Greats life seems to have been made for the cinema--her rise to power; her reportedly countless love affairs and wild sexual escapades; the episodes of betrayal, revenge, and even murder--theres no shortage of historical drama. But Oleg Erdmann, a young Russian filmmaker, seeks to discover and portray Catherines essential, emotional truth, her real life beyond the rumors and façade.

He continues to seek the real Catherine elsewhere.
