What reading level is The Life of Catherine the Great of Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We get glimpses in her letters of her long conversations on questions of state with Bestoujeff-Ryoumin, and discover how serious a part she was already playing in the country. There is nothing of the frivolous, self-indulgent voluptuary, such as her detractors would have us believe, and such as Elizabeth had ever been, in these clever letters.
The result of the entreaties of Catherine was to bring Ponia- tovski back, but events had moved rapidly in those few months, and when he arrived at St. P...etersburg on 23rd December 1756 it was not as a private individual of no consequence but as the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Polish Republic.
This cultured nobleman, however, had not learned discretion by experience. As the Envoy of the King of Poland he neverthe- less pressed the claims of the Czartoryskis and thus again en- dangered his position. His relations with Catherine were renewed, and here also the imprudent young man ran grave risks. In his Memoirs he says that he saw her frequently, and that even Narishkin's services were no longer required — that faithful Narishkin who used to mew, so it is stated in the Memoirs of Catherine, whenever he wanted to communicate with her.
