empress elizabeth arranged the pairing, and was anxious for peter to have an heir. she chose catherine (then a minor German Princess named Sophie), and the couple wed when peter was 17 and catherine was 16.
born sophie friederike auguste von anhalt-zerbst, a minor german princes. after her conversion to orthodoxy, she took the name yekaterina velikaya, also called Cctherine. she did her best to eschew her germanic origins, and endear herself to the Rrussians as one of them.
it was a unstablemarriage from the start. catherine described him in her memoirs as childlike and a little too interested in alcohol. still, "she thought, ‘all right, i’ll marry this creep.’ the thought of the throne sustained her". peter as "psychologically afflicted". according to catherine’s memoirs, at first,s he thought of peter as an idiot and a drunk who was only interested in playing the part of a military leader.
peter and catherine's marriage became one marked by uncertainty, differences and unpredictability. politically perfect for each other to help their countries, they live in search of finding perfect harmony within love, wandering through multiple feelings, violent reactions, divergent thoughts and mentalities. in search of understanding and loyalty, they are well regarded by the subjects, who see them as a perfect couple in the eyes of the public. in the midst of all this chaos, they also become parents of a small and innocent child, who seems to unite them, despite all the odds. a child who not only materializes the genetic inheritance, the inheritance of the throne, the inheritance of a dynasty, but also the inheritance of a wild, misunderstood and disproportionate love.

an imperfect marriage imagined in order to strengthen the friendship between prussia and russia. catherine and peter live between love and hate, passion and indifference, admiration and fear. above all, instability.
