Furious, passionate, cruel, devoted to an idea, sparing neither himself nor others for the good of Russia - this is how Peter the Great was remembered by his contemporaries. Historians called him a "revolutionary on the throne." Peter's reforms literally turned Russia upside down, as Pushkin aptly put it, raising the old, quiet Moscow Rus that he inherited to the Russian Empire - a powerful state without whose participation no issue could be resolved.
What kind of person was he, under whose leadership dozens of glorious military victories were won, who opened a "window to Europe" and laid the foundation for the Northern Palmyra? What were the reasons behind his decisive, albeit sometimes cruel decisions and actions? Who were his like-minded allies and enemies? All of this is told in the book by the renowned historian Andrey Nikolaevich Sakharov.
