Catherine the Great's Relationship with the Enlightenment
In this chapter, they discuss Catherine the Great's association with the Enlightenment and her interaction with leading thinkers of the time, such as Diderot and Voltaire. They highlight how Catherine talked about the ideals of liberalism and enlightenment, but didn't enforce them in the lives of the majority of people. They also mention Catherine's accomplishments in areas such as education and the elevation of women in society. However, they note that Catherine did little to improve the lives of the millions of serfs, which was one of the reasons for the Pugachev rebellion.
