Lucy visits St Petersburg to chart the extraordinary reign of Catherine the Great, whose meteoric rise saw her seize the Russian throne in 1762 and become the most powerful woman in the world, expanding her empire through military victories overseas. The programme also examines the impact of Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, which saw an eventual victory under the leadership of Catherine's grandson Alexander over France, which provided the Romanov dynasty with its finest hour
