The death of Catherine II in November 1796 marked the end of one of the most illustrious eras of the Russian Empire. For over thirty years, she reigned supreme, expanding the state's borders, reshaping her court, waging war, and becoming one of the most famous monarchs in Europe. But her sudden death set in motion a chain of events in which mourning became closely linked with politics, family conflicts, and the demonstration of new power.

In this documentary video, we will examine in detail the final days of Catherine the Great, how her body was prepared for burial, the imperial mourning process, and what happened at court after her death.

Her son, the new Emperor Paul I, occupies a special place in this story. His relationship with his mother had been difficult for many years, and after ascending the throne, he began making decisions with deep symbolic significance. One of the most unusual was the reburial of his father, Emperor Peter III, more than thirty years after his death, so that he could be interred next to Catherine.
