Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia
It’s an Easter episode! Happy Quarantineaster, everyone! We start this episode by checking in on our isolation sanity levels and then diving into the life and times of Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia.
Intro by our girl Kate over at the Exploress podcast. We pair this strong woman with a strong drink. The Black Russian is just 2 oz vodka and 1 oz Kahlúa. Sweet and simple!
Sophia lived a secluded life, but don’t let her fool you. She’s one of the most savage women you’ve never heard of!
Enjoy!
