4581historical_info = flavor_rus.48.historical_info Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, commonly known as Catherine 'the Great', was a German-born princess who married the Russian Emperor Peter III. She was often at odds with her husband, attributed to his mental immaturity, and would end up overthrowing him with the help of royal advisors after he made a series of political decisions that alienated most of the nobility. Catherine's rule was marked by enlightenment and a renaissance for culture and science, finally earning Russia recognition as a Great Power of Europe.
