Military historian Boris Kipnis is a guest on Digital History again. This time he spoke about the intrigues of the court of Catherine II against the most serene prince Grigory Potemkin during the late period of her reign. Even the commander Suvorov fell victim to those palace intrigues... Who united against Potemkin? How was he portrayed in an unfavorable light for the empress? What did the intriguers manage to achieve, and why did Suvorov oppose the appointment of his daughter as a maid of honor to the empress? This is all in a new fascinating lecture by our project's friend Boris Kipnis.
