The book is devoted to the literary and, as a rule, sharply polemical experiments of Empress Catherine II, reflecting and embodying her policy. The queen ruled with the help of not only decrees, but also a literary pen, turning literature into politics and at the same time transferring the fashionable European paradigm "writer on the throne" to Russian soil. Desiring to become a legitimate member of the European "r? publique des letteres," Catherine carefully prepared the intellectual circles of Europe for the perception of her texts, involving Voltaire, Diderot, Grimm in their discussion, inviting diplomats and especially important foreign guests to theatrical performances of her plays. Each text of the empress, be it her two-volume "Antidote" or the cycle of comedies of 1772, historical dramas, anti-Masonic parodies or magazine polemics, carried a certain strategic charge - to mark the own boundaries of civilization, outline the territory of free thought, determine the categories of the reasonable, mentally "conquer" the past.
