There is no more controversial personality among Russian rulers than Peter I, deservedly nicknamed the Great. Some are sure that there was no more outstanding ruler in Russia, while others believe that it would be better if he did not exist at all. It is impossible to erase Peter from history, and even the most zealous critics have to reckon with this. When assessing Peter’s personality, one cannot help but take into account his status. Rulers are special people. They are not forgiven for what they would forgive any of their subjects, and they have a huge responsibility. However, the cruelty characteristic of Peter, his uncompromisingness, outbursts of uncontrollable anger frightened both his contemporaries and descendants. So what was more in Peter - bad or good? You will find out the answer in the new book in the “The most complete biography” series. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
