Igor Zimin presents another book from the series "Everyday Life of the Russian Imperial Court", in which he tells in an entertaining way how the personal funds of Empress Catherine II were replenished and spent. The publication contains a huge number of illustrations and authentic information. The Empress spent huge amounts of money on her education and construction, purchased countless snuffboxes from St. Petersburg jewelers... One can list many of her affairs, which in huge numbers remained stored in the form of cash accounts in the Russian archive...
Cash accounts are silent documentary evidence of the countless affairs of Catherine the Great during the 34 years of her reign, which we remember with gratitude. And they are very diverse - from financing purchases for the Hermitage to acquiring personal items "for the Room", and there were so many of these affairs that they did not fit into the book offered to you for reading, and the author is working on continuing the story. The book has no analogues on the modern market and deserves the widest range of readers.
