extremely interesting, and not really shocking, coming off of a catherine the great biography at how the relationship between julie and konstantin is so reminiscent of catherine and peter’s. both young women so far from home, unable to leave and stuck with these cruel chauvinistic sadists. and a note of just just how much catherine learned from elizabeth when she was julie’s age, despite her cruelty at times.
