In July 1757, joining the Moscow University, among the top 12 students was presented to the Empress Elizabeth, but then healed and was expelled from the university “for not walking.” Back in 1755, recorded in the Reiters of the Horse Guards, Potemkin under Peter III was a sergeant. Participation in the coup d’état of June 28, 1762 drew the attention of Empress Catherine II to Potemkin; he was made a chamber junker.
