On the one hand, she believed that yes, from foreigners, from the west, we need to adopt what is needed, but exactly what is needed, speaking of philosophy, yes, it must be said that catherine, at the end of her life, she herself admitted this, that she in general, was not an original thinker, if you look at her notes written a year before her accession to the throne, we will see there absolutely, one might say , a utopian, ideal picture, she writes there, uh. That she wants to do only good on the throne, that she wants to eradicate despotism in russia, she wants to free the serfs from bondage, she wrote freedom, you are the soul of everything, without you everything is dead, this the beginning of one of her notes, that is, this is enlightenment utopianism, the famous mandate, it was an attempt, so to speak, to write a new code.

Immunity in order to be able to freely express their opinion, and for life, the only thought that still underlay this document is autocracy, the inviolability of autocracy, the inviolability of autocracy, but maybe the work on this code did not bring real results, catherine received this that real picture of russia. It is clear that catherines reforms are subsequent reforms. Were built on the knowledge that she received during her work with the established commission, but of course they were carried out at the expense of strengthening serfdom. The history of the pugachev rebellion, because a rebel cannot have his own history , why pushkin is important here, because pushkin considered this event as one of the key events in the history of the 16th century, and pushkin, of course, had a very serious historical background
