Catherine the Great was Empress of Russia for 34 years, from June 28, 1762 until her death, at 67 years old. Catherine picked up the legacy of Peter the Great, "a window to the West on the Baltic coast" and enlarged it by opening it on the Black Sea. Pedro imported technology, government institutions and military organization and Catalina brought from Europe the legal, political and moral philosophy as well as medicine, art, culture and education.

Catalina's life is divided into two parts, approximately of the same duration. Between 1729 and 1762, she went from being a German princess to a Russian grand duchess; from 1762 until she died in 1796, was the Empress of Russia.
