Sergey Mikhailovich Soloviev (1820-1879)-an outstanding Russian historian, professor of Moscow University, academician of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy. His study, dedicated to Peter I, was written in 1872, by the 200th anniversary of the first Russian emperor, and made a strong impression on the reading audience.
Soloviev gave an enthusiastic, but at the same time a balanced assessment of this ruler. According to the historian, Peter I was, first of all, a worker on the throne, a man who managed to combine disparate folk forces for a common goal - the transformation of Russia into the largest European state and empire. However, being a professional historian, Soloviev also described the negative features in Peter"s character, primarily suspicion and cruelty. The scientist explained to them with a heavy environment, in which the future emperor grew up, who became a witness to the bloody Streltsky rebellion and a merciless struggle for power in childhood.
The book is supplemented by the stories of S.M. Solovyov about the chicks of the nest of Petrov, as well as about remarkable episodes of the reign of Peter
