About This Quote
Potemkin Village is a name for a fake village built to impress visitors. It was created by the Russian statesman Grigory Potemkin, who ordered the construction of the village in an attempt to impress Catherine II, Empress of Russia. He hired talented artisans and craftsmen to create his illusion, which included the planting of trees, the removal of weeds, and the building of roads. The purpose was to impress upon the visitor that Russia was a great nation with lots of progress and prosperity.
