    Potemkin Villages: The Fake Towns Catherine May Never Have Seen
    Nov 3 2026
    Did Grigory Potemkin build false villages for Catherine the Great's 1787 tour? Rewind follows the real imperial journey, its elaborate public display and the hostile rumour that grew into a lasting phrase. Historians find contemporary accounts of decoration, but not the familiar deception of portable fake towns.
