Dear @patriamreminisci , What did you feel the 18th-century Russian Empire and present-day China had in common?
Why do you claim that Potemkin is a symbol of 18th century Russia?
As I recall, Russia in the 18th century was an empire in the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages that rejected the modern revolution in Western Europe.😅
I recognized Catherine the Great as a lewd prostitute who killed her incompetent husband and became emperor. So, Perhaps the sons of Catherine the Great were not descendants of the Romanovs.
