Depicts: Empress Catherine II The Great

Vika proposed this swap to me and I gladly accepted - it's always good to get as many cards as possible! She lives in Siberia and what stroke me the most about what she said on the card was that in the moment she was writing the temperature was of -7ºC and she said that it was "still warm" for them. I have barely ever felt negative temperatures in my life, I can't imagine how a -7ºC day can be... warm. But oh well, it's Siberia, right? And that lady in the card is Empress Catherine II The Gret, one of the greatest leaders of the Russian Empire and someone known by anybody who knows a little bit of history!
