In the most common accounts, due to her abilities, she rises through the church hierarchy, eventually being elected pope. However, while riding on horseback she gives birth, thus exposing her gender.

Potemkin/Potyomkin villages – Потёмкинские деревни; лживая попытка произвести благоприятное впечатление The idiom is based on a historical myth. According to the myth, there were fake settlements purportedly erected at the direction of Russian minister Grigory Potemkin to fool Empress Catherine II during her visit to the Crimea in 1787. According to this story, Potemkin, who led the Crimean military campaign, had hollow facades of villages constructed along the desolate banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the monarch and her entourage with the value of her new conquests, thus enhancing his standing in the empress’s eyes. So he ordered a number of sham villages to be built for the Empress Catherine II’s tour of the Crimea.
