The military confrontation between Russia and Sweden in the reign of Catherine II wore some "residual" character, and consisted, mainly, to the battles of the sea. It ended with a obvious victory for Russia.
The entry of Russia in 1757 in The Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763) during the period of Elizabeth Petrovna's reign can be considered as an exception of the rule. But - from what point of view to look. During lifetime of Elizabeth Petrovna this war wasn't ended. There were nice victories of the Russian weapon. But, anyway, despite long military operations, so to any positive results this war hasn't led.
It is possible to draw a conclusion that the exception has confirmed the rule.
"Partitions", if viewed from a historical point of view, also look either pointless or doubtful.
– "Women's factor" and "peacefulness" (desire for peace), - with a mild irony summed up the Ogarkov.
– Plus "foreign specialists", plus "European Coalition" ... Assumptions, theories, thoughts...
– As a working version for the explanation of "women's factor", - Kamensky reacted with slight irony.
– But you may remember the hypothetical "collective historical memory", the long Livonian war without allies (Russia), and the subsequent "Time of Troubles" ... These are also elements of reasoning.
– If to take into account your statements, mister Kamensky, it may will reduce "an intimate (sexual) component" in the biography Catherine The Great, - has sighed Ogarkov.
– Will reduce, but not by much. It is necessary, by and large, in details to consider her personal life.
– Make "knight's move" [course of a chess horse], mister Ogarkov, - Kamensky has offered a possible way.
– You can write a biographic essay about Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin.
Potemkin acted on the "main" direction - "Ottoman". Of course, You cannot do without mentioning his personal relationship with Catherine II.
But emphasize, that Potemkin was busy with strategic issues. His excellent organizational communications with the count Pyotr Alexandrovich Rumyantsev (Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky) are obvious.
So, Grigory Potemkin arrived in St. Petersburg in the late 1770 with excellent recommendations P.A. Rumyantsev. In the letter to the Empress the victorious P.A. Rumyantsev listed the merits of G.A. Potemkin. and, in particular, it was noted:
"This officer with great abilities can do extensive and far-sighted remarks about the land where the theater of war was, which by their properties deserve to be awarded the highest attention and respect. And therefore I entrust him to convey to You many circumstances related to the glory of the Empire ..."
Potemkin insisted on the reinforcement of the army of the Danube by new reinforcements from Russia and on the unfettering this army off instructions.
Thus, Potemkin was not only the favourite. He has appeared in the capital of the Empire as the competent representative of those forces which acted on the "Ottoman" direction.
Potemkin often wrote the letters to the Empress. This correspondence allowed to draw conclusions about literacy, knowledge and Potemkin's outlook.
Focusing on writing a biographical essay about Grigory Potemkin, about his glorious accomplishments, You, Mr. Ogarkov, will be able to tell about activities of Catherine the Great without further details about her personal life.
– So, to write about Potemkin?
– showing hesitation, said Ogarkov.
– Write about epoch, mister Ogarkov. Write about historical processes, about events, about
– You are right, mister Kamensky, - Ogarkov has made the decision.
– I will focus on Grigory Potemkin's biography and on his affairs. I will tell about Catherine the Great, about her predecessors on a throne. If it is pertinent, then I will mention also historical versions. I thank for a conversation.
Writers shook hands with each other.
