About the last tsar and the first Emperor of Russia, Peter I. The era of his reign has been repeatedly described in books and textbooks, but no one has yet tried to study his personality, understand his motives, evaluate the effectiveness and complexity of decisions. Was this a brilliant visionary who changed the course of history, or, on the contrary, was he himself the result of the coming time of inevitable changes? Key specialists in urban planning, public and corporate governance, as well as psychologists and analysts recreate in great detail the personality of the first emperor and the context of his actions.

The figure of Emperor Peter the Great, as well as the era of his formation and reign, still excites the minds of people all over the world. The creators answer the questions of how to take the throne when you are the fourteenth child in the family; how to win access to the sea when there is no professional army and navy in the country; how to bring a country that no one considered before into world leaders in a few decades, and many others.
