Russia: The forgotten empire?

[Madae]

Catherine the Great as a slut who liked to have sex with animals.

Never heard that before... Where was this from?

lol, nevermind, I found some information about it. Most of these stories (myths) were created just after her death... by Russians... so I can hardly see how you can blame anyone else for furthering them. It was all in jest then (probably with a little more political umph), and it's all in jest now. Does anyone doubt she had a lot of lovers? Cause it didn't seem like that was open to argument in what I read.
