Contemporaries began to realize the greatness of Peter I during his lifetime and long before he was officially assigned the nickname “Great”. The classics of historical thought were differently evaluated by the first Russian emperor, but none of them doubted the scale of his personality and the fateful consequences of his deeds. The French aristocrat Duke de Saint-Simon, Danish Messenger Yust Yul, Breton nobleman Francois Guyimo de Wilbua (aka Russian vice-admiral Nikita Petrovich Wilboa)- all of them personally know Peter I, and if the first of this list with the Russian Tsar even really He did not communicate, but in his memoirs he did not skimp on enthusiasm, the latter was entrusted with becoming a chaff at the wedding of Peter and Catherine, but later he did not hesitate to give his story about the death of the emperor the tone of the vile Pasquil. Russian historians N.I. Kostomarov, S.M. Soloviev, V.O. Klyuchevsky, M.N. Pokrovsky studied the Petrons of the Rov era for the most part according to the same documents, but in paradoxical, sometimes they came to diametrically opposite conclusions. Readers of the third volume will receive a unique chance to get acquainted with the entire spectrum of opinions and make their own. The project “Russian land collectors” is implemented by the Russian military-historical society with the support of the United Russia party
