Catherine the Great maintained control by having one group spy on another. She kept as many operations under her direct control as possible. She also had excellent press agents who could put tremendous spin on any issue. Move over Bill Clinton. Also, she had no where near the control over her empire as she claimed.
For example: John Paul Jones, an American Revolutionary War hero, went to Russia to fight for her. He discovered tremendous corruption existed in the supply system of the Russian Army and Navy. The army had almost no weapons. The navy's ships were made with rotten timbers. When John Paul Jones attempted to return to St. Petersburg to inform Catherine, the generals prevented such a meeting. They kidnapped him and took him to Paris.
