Catherine the Great ruled Russia from 1762- 1796. In that time Russia embraced European policies. Catherine's fierce enforcement of repressive serfdom and the limits she placed on the growth of the middle class make her a contrversial character.

The trials will be on the 18th and 19th of December.
