"Peter was a great master, best understanding of economic interests, most sensitive to the sources of state wealth. His predecessors, the kings of the old and new dynasties, were similar masters, but they were Sidney masters, white-handed, accustomed to managing with the hands of others, and from Peter came an active master-laborer, self-taught, king-craftsman." V.O. KlyuchevskyIn his new novel, Sergei Mosiyash shows Peter I in the most significant periods of his life: during the young Russian Tsar’s trip abroad for knowledge and the Battle of Poltava, where his military leadership talent was revealed in all its brilliance.
