later parts if the reign of august the 2nd, the entire reign of his son and for the most part poniatowski's reign was under effective russian control of the country. in fact the way poniatowski "reformed" the country was aimed towards making sure the reforms will be reversed - the great sejm started as a military only reform using the constitutional means available at the time, so it didn't violate any treaties while producing a mean to violate them later - large standing army - poniatowski and his partisans meanwhile attached more and more social and constitutional reforms to that army reform to ensure the foreign intervention will happen before the army was organised. catherine's prussia simping was just bad from the russian perspective and that's something her son, who was a bad politician but intelligent man has more or less admitted to.
