“A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.” — Catherine The Great
(It looks like our Cryptoquote friends and our Jumble friends were on the same page today! Well, okay, they’re usually – literally – on the same page anyway. But they’re both about big winds! Catherine was a tough cookie, and she ruled Russia for 34 years. She admired Peter The Great, and she did a lot to modernize Russia. She was also a big patron – matron? – of the Arts. And, yes, she did have a lot of lovers. Good for her! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Catherine The Great may have had a lot of lovers, but many of them got their head cut off ?

A figure who realizes the history of Russia and other things that are known to him, it is because he participated in the division of Poland. They ate that country like sharing a good cake. No wonder Catalina was chubby. Greetings Yur.
