In the beginning, it was almost impossible to see Peter III, the Emperor of Russia, as anything but a spoiled, incompetent, overgrown child. He sleeps with anyone, including his best friend’s wife, burns down Catherine’s school for women, and kills people on a whim–all the while chatting pompously about empty trivialities. Yet, just as he grows on ...

But though he’s hopeful about her schemes to improve the country, will her daring plans in Season 3 be too much for him? Sascha Dhawan currently plays the Master on Doctor ...

So far, it hasn’t really taken, and Grigor has become more contemptuous of his friend. He also started a...
General Velementov is a drunken boor who nonetheless triggers the audience's sympathy as he desperately tries to fight Peter’s wars with as few casualties as possible.
