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 His Serene Highness 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 how did the former favorite of the empress end his life, giving way to the younger generation? This is all in a new fascinating lecture by our project's friend Boris Kipnis. P.S. Our editor made a mistake at 13:20, showing a portrait of Pavel Vasilyevich Chichagov (son) instead of Vasily Yakovlevich Chichagov (father), for which he was punished. We apologize for the unfortunate mistake. The first part told about Potemkin at the link — • Know against Potemkin/Boris Kipnis and...
