Сообщение Вовке Путину
от императрицы Екатерины Великой

по свидетельству русского историка, академика Ключевского Василия Осиповича

Всегда государь виноват, если подданные против него огорчены, писала Екатерина в 1765 г. в наставлении своему сыну и потомкам: "Изволь мериться на сей аршин; а если кто из вас, мои дражайшие потомки, сии наставления прочтет с уничтожением, так ему более в свете и особливо в российском счастья желать, нежели пророчествовать можно".

Екатерина II вела переписку с Вольтером, Даламбером и Дидро.
