Catherine's Domestic Policies
Portrait of Empress Catherine the Great by Russian painter Fyodor Rokotov, 1763.
Catherine reformed the administration of Russian guberniyas and many new cities and towns were founded on her orders. An admirer of Peter the Great, she continued to modernize Russia along Western European lines although her reforms did not benefit the masses and military conscription and economy continued to depend on serfdom.
