聖騎士 (npub1pfr…6222) John Paul Grips (npub175d…wrtj) jet (npub12yv…cyr2) Matoi:z:Ryuko:shrussia: (npub1xan…jlvy) MiMoRiN-Ка (npub1yyh…t9l6) They're not wrong in talking about her lovers, the reason she became empress was because her lover, officer Orlov overthrew her husband, the Tsar, Orlov was also the founder of a liberal society in court

Also after the french revolution, Catherine started exiling enlightenment authors like Radishchev to Siberia. She did reform the local administration after the rebellion of Pugachev but the Namestniks still literally owned the people there

I don't think she was liberal by initiative compared to Peter the Great, more so she knew how to play other groups' interests to benefit her which resulted in more enlightenment ideas spreading but the average person still lived in practical slavery compared to the rest of Europe

And yeah, westerners were mad that she managed to make such power plays, as for personal attitude, I don't know what she thought about Jews but she came from a protestant family and maybe didn't care that much for the opinion of the church and they still lived as bad as serfs
