Simon Sebag Montefiore : the life of Potemkin : his bones are still making news.

  • サマリー

  • Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore explains the mythic status of this eighteenth century Russian statesman, and military leader.

    In this conversation recorded in London in 2000 the historian Simon Sebag Montefiore tells David Freeman about practical politics in 18th century Russia and how Potemkin made his way in society with the help of the love of Catherine the Great.

    Their relationship has been told in films but the way Simon tells the story is probably more gripping and unbelievable.

    Simon told the story in full in his the books, Prince of Princes, and Catherine the Great and Potemkin, The Imperial Love Affair.

    Interesting to hear Simon say that Putin read this book and what he learned has informed his political views. This lead to the invasion of Ukraine and a significant incident when Russian troops broke into the crypt of the cathedral in Kherson and removed the bones of Grigory Potemkin.

    This is history to remember. Putin uses this history to justify his 'special military operation'.
