Yes, there were women rulers in Russia before Catherine the Great. Notably, Empress Anna Ivanovna ruled from 1730 to 1740, and Empress Elizabeth reigned from 1741 to 1762. Additionally, there were influential women such as regents and co-rulers, including Sophia Alekseyevna, who acted as regent during the early 18th century. These women played significant roles in shaping Russian history prior to Catherine's reign.
