Peter the Great. Anthology. Contemporaries. Historians

Many searched for Peter"s formula. Pushkin brought her to the "Copper Horseman", leaving other poets, historians and philosophers the right to turn her into an elementary arithmetic action, then into a complex theory, then into a picturesque picture, then into a moral maximum.
But even after Pushkin, Peter was not the answer, but by the Russian question, the eternal problem of Russian life, history, and culture.
The goal of the anthology "Peter the Great. Contemporaries. Historians. Philosophers. Writers" - to present a wide range of assessments and images, the faces of Peter the Great from the contemporaries of the emperor to our contemporaries. Philosophical thoughts, historical research, jokes, prosaic and poetic works create a contradictory picture, a harmonizing outcome, the synthesizing formula of which is the Pushkin "Copper Horseman".
