The famous order of Peter I on Braudriya, more like a joke than the thoughtful initiative of the wise converter of Russia, never became the subject of special analysis. Evgeny Akeliev takes on the study of this topic and discovers in it a great potential for studying the nature of power in Petrovsky Russia. Why did the king need to introduce a compulsory brandbride at the most intense moment of the Northern War? What everyday practices were related to this order? Why were the opponents of the decree ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their right to wear beards? The search for answers to these questions gave the author the opportunity to describe important changes in the relations of the state and society in Russia of the late XVII - first third of the 18th century.
