Résumé
This psychologically penetrating revisionist account of the life and rule of Rusia's 18th-century Tsar-reformer develops an important theme - that is, what happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than to a larger… goal of human emancipation? And, what has been the price of power - both for Peter and for Russia?
