Emperor of All Russia Peter I is definitely one of the most controversial and colorful figures in Russian history. Around his personality, disputes have not subsided to this day, and historians still adhere to diametrically opposed views regarding him.
The king was an overactive ruler. He constantly had new ideas, which Peter the Great immediately completely lit up and immediately began to implement them. So zealous that he often left past affairs unfinished. He often took on several cases at once, not bringing any one to the end. But he never gave up, never put up with failures. On the contrary, each defeat seemed to spur him on, doubling his energy.
In his book, Boris Akunin shows how significant Peter's activity became not only for Russian, but also for world history. The pages reveal many circumstances of the king's personal life, his mental structure, special addictions and even phobias with which he had to live.
