The Love Story of Potemkin and Catherine the Great: A Mutual Admiration for Intelligence

The love story of the great Empress and Grigory Potemkin began as early as the days of the coup, and ended, according to historians, only when "death parted them". The woman-loving Empress did not deny herself any womanly pleasures. She changed her favorites quite often, but it was only this man whom she used to call her "husband" and "kind husband" in her letters. Despite the fact that there are no documents accurately confirming the fact of their marriage, there is much evidence that Catherine did enter into this morganatic marriage.
