The main activities and events of Ekaterina 1.

After Peter I died, the throne thanks to the guards and A.D. Menshikov, at the beginning of 1725, was taken over by his second wife, Catherine I. She did not delve into politics, and all important decisions for the empress were made by the created Supreme Privy Council. In fact, Catherine I only signed the documents presented to her. She was on the throne for only two years. And during this time, no significant reforms were carried out. It is worth noting that in the years of crop failure at this time, the poll tax was reduced. But the Empress always tried to help those who turned to her. And for that she was loved.
