XiveTV Launches Ekaterina in the U.S.

XiveTV has added the Russian docudrama Ekaterina—The Rise of Catherine the Great to its Amazon Prime Video channel.

The ten-part production chronicles the lead-up to Catherine the Great’s powerful reign, following as the German-born princess travels to Russia to marry Peter III, grandson of Peter the Great and nephew of Empress Elizabeth.

“Catherine the Great is a monumental figure in the history of Russia and Europe,” notes XiveTV’s Greg Diefenbach, “and we are thrilled to bring this extraordinarily high-quality production to our XiveTV audience.”

Russia Television and Radio/Sovtelexport is the worldwide distributor of Ekaterina, which is produced by AMedia.
