Oh, hah, look at me not clicking on the link until now. *Different* Russian Catherine miniseries, lol.
Anyway, in the one I'm watching, Poniatowski just showed up. In his first thirty or so seconds, he's managed to be young and good-looking, avert a diplomatic crisis during Elizabeth's declaration of war on Prussia, snark at the Prussian ambassador, and wink at Catherine. It was an eventful intro, is what I'm saying. (Peter the not yet III is looking unhappy in the background, as well he might.)
Will keep an eye out for potential Frederician fic prompts re Poniatowski. The Seven Years' War has just begun.
