- Abstract
Jan Kusber has written a biography about Catherine the Great, which deals with her legitimation through reform and expansion. The biography covers all important aspects and events of Catherine's reign and combines a cultural history of politics with a social history of Russia. Although the biography is well-written and concise, the author points out that many sources are still unprocessed. However, the selection of images in the biography leaves something to be desired.
