| Summary: | Information in the historiography about the main milestones of the biography
of Catherine I and ideas about the peculiarities of her relationship with Peter I
are subjected to critical analysis. Based on the achievements of psychology, an
explanation is offered for raising a low-born woman to the rank of official spouse
by the king-reformer. An attempt is being made to determine the «typological»
place of Catherine I among the Russian sovereigns of the New Age, for which the
concept of «Tsarina -Assistant» is proposed and characterized, denoting the type
of monarch’s wife, which first representative was Catherine and which, after the era
of palace coups, will become the norm in the Russian Empire |
