On the eve of her death in 1762, the Russian empirened almost 4 billion acres. Her domestic policies allowed the nobles to gain dominance in local government while shortening their terms of service to the state.

The Winter Palace and the Smolny Cathedral remain the chief monuments of her reign in Saint Petersburg. Generally, she was one of the best loved Russian monarchs, because she did not allow Germans in the government and not one person was executed during her reign.
