The Russian Imperial Order of St. Catherine
/Sometimes, one feels the need to revisit an earlier subject when new information becomes available. After finding a cache of information about the Catherine Institutes in St. Petersburg and Moscow, I felt it was time to revisit my article on the Russian Imperial Order of Saint Catherine, written almost 20 years ago for the wonderful Alexander Palace site.
Now that we have access to so much more information, I hope that you will enjoy reading this new piece as much as I did revising it and including new information and new resources on the subject for Russian speakers.
