She was so powerful…

By Vick Mickunas | Friday, December 30, 2011, 10:04 AM

Catherine the Great was the empress of Russia for over 40 years. At that time, in the late 18th century, Russia was the largest country in the world. Catherine was an amazing person.

Robert K. Massie recently published his definitive biography, “Catherine the Great - Portrait of a Woman” (Random House). I just interviewed the author on my radio program. If you missed the first half of our conversation you can hear it by clicking HERE:

Part two of my interview will air this Sunday morning (New Year’s Day) at 11 on WYSO (91.3fm) at 1:30 (EST). You can stream it at WYSO.org.
