About :

The new issue of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to Peter the Great, a ruler who seems to be well known to everyone. But do we really know him well? Do our ideas about him go beyond memories of shaving beards, the Battle of Poltava, and the construction of St. Petersburg? How did Peter develop, what goals did he set for himself, what controversies raged (and continue to rage) around his personality and reign? The era of Peter the Great is the most important period in Russian history, and it is sometimes assessed in completely different ways. BOOKS S.M.Solovyov. Public readings about Peter the Great. E.V.Anisimov. Peter the Great: Good or Evil for Russia? A.S.Pushkin. The Blackamoor of Peter the Great. A.S.Pushkin. Poltava. A.S.Pushkin. The Bronze Horseman. D.S.Merezhkovsky.
