Личният живот на Петър I Велики
Category: Modern history; Regional studies: Russia

Peter I the Great (1682—1725) is probably the greatest ruler in Russian history. He was crowned only at the age of 10, and during turbulent years for the country, but he quickly proved that he was a person with an iron will and steadfastness, thanks to which he gained an indisputable authority. Peter is famous for his large-scale projects and deeds that reformed the entire state structure, social order and principles of the economy in Russia. In this regard, he borrowed from the best Western European practices, which he became personally acquainted with during his tours of the Old Continent. The autocrat studied the achievements of modern civilization in the economy, architecture, education, military affairs and shipping, and subsequently successfully adapted them to the peculiarities of the Russian socio-cultural environment. The crown of his reign, however, was the triumph in the Great Northern War (1700—1721), in which the Russian ruler defeated the powerful Swedish king Karl XII and won significant territorial expansion for his country. After this victory, Peter the Great turned Russia into a real empire and outlined the main features of its internal and foreign political development, which in the following centuries made it an unchangeable factor in international relations.
