The Crimean Journey (1787)
- The Goal: Prince Potemkin wanted to showcase the newly acquired lands of Novorossiya (southern Ukraine) and Crimea—which Russia annexed in 1783 under his guidance—to Catherine the Great and foreign diplomats. [1, 2, 3]
- The Scale: The massive imperial flotilla and overland procession traveled down the Dnieper River and across the Crimean peninsula, displaying new towns, military fleets, and thriving settlements. [1, 2]
The Myth of the "Potemkin Village"
- The Rumor: Political rivals spread stories that Potemkin built fake, portable cardboard or painted wooden villages along the riverbanks to deceive the Empress into thinking the region was prosperous. [1, 2]
- The Reality: Modern historians agree that the story of fake portable facades is largely a malicious fabrication invented by Potemkin's enemies; the towns, developments, and agricultural progress he showed Catherine were real. [1, 2, 3]
