EP 41: Catherine the Great

We're back! Thank you all for joining us for our Season Five premiere! As tradition dictates, the first episode of every season is a Leah Takeover Episode! This week on Hashtag History, Leah introduces us to Catherine the Great. Although we all know of her, how much do we know about her? In this episode, we cover Catherine's rough childhood, loveless marriage to Peter the Great, and an arranged coup d'etat that resulted in Catherine becoming the longest ruling leader of Russia.
