The biography of Peter the Great, the converter of Russia, belonging to the pen of the largest domestic historian N. I. Pavlenko, is rightfully recognized as the classic of the biographical genre. It is written on a strictly documentary basis, with the involvement of all available sources, and at the same time reads in one breath, like a sound historical novel. The personality of Peter I, as probably, is not a single statesman in the history of Russia, to this day, unequivocating fierce disputes: his famous transformations became good or tragedy for Russia? The author of the book gives his answer to this question, revealing to the reader all aspects of the multifaceted, truly titanic activity of the Tsar-reformer. This publication was significantly redesigned by the author, and also supplemented by the new chapter - "image of Peter in the representations of contemporaries" and the essay "The historical meaning of the transformations of Peter".
