專家說明

Count Gregorii Orlov (1734-1783) was a Russian military officer who fought in the Seven Years' War. While being stationed in St. Petersburg as an artillery officer he met Grand Duke Peter (later Tsar Peter III) and his wife, Catherine, whose lover Orlov became in the 1760s. After Peter ascended the throne in 1762, Orlov and his brother, Count Aleksey Orlov, planned the coup d'état that overthrew Peter and made Catherine Empress of Russia. After the event, Catherine raised him to the rank of count and made him general-in-chief until he fell from favour in the 1770s.
