Don't believe what you read in dirty comics. the story is way off base. It is quite possible she may have had an affair with a Cavalry Officer, who were styled Horse Guards, troop of Horse, etc.( as opposed to Infantry or Foot men, artillery cannoneers and so on) Horse troopers were Cavalrymen. It is quite posible she flirted with high-ranking Cavaliers, and Horse Guards ( sort of IKGB mounted police) did patrol the grounds of the Winter Palace). More prosaically, Catherine was stricken with a heart attack while taking a bath( in a pool-sized tub, by the way) Her ladies-in Wading had to get her out of the tub and dressed- while a Doctor and Court Chaplain were summoned. I can imagine this sounded quite an alarm on the speaking tubes, and Major Potemkin had the security-officer's post. ( What, Catherine had a heart attack in the Bathtub, get me the Naval ministry!) sorry that's a joke.) the truth- the Empress had a heart attack in the bathtub, is in away more shocking than the Horsey myth. By the time they got her out of the tub and dressed she was No longer of this World.
