Peter the First

Personality:   Peter I the Great is the last Tsar of All Rus' from the Romanov dynasty (since 1682) and the first All-Russian Emperor (since 1721). Peter was proclaimed tsar in 1682 at the age of 10, and began to rule independently in 1689. From a young age, showing interest in science and foreign lifestyles, Peter was the first of the Russian tsars to make a long journey to the countries of Western Europe (1697-1698). Upon returning from them, in 1698, Peter launched large-scale reforms of the Russian state and social structure. One of Peter’s main achievements was the solution to the task posed in the 16th century: the expansion of Russian territories in the Baltic region after the victory in the Great Northern War, which allowed him to accept the title of the first emperor of the Russian Empire in 1721 early years Peter the Great was born on May 30 (June 9), 1672 in Moscow. In the biography of Peter 1, it is important to note that he was the youngest son of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich from his second marriage to Tsarina Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina. From the age of one he was raised by nannies. And after the death of his father, at the age of four, his half-brother and new Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich became Peter’s guardian. From the age of 5, little Peter began to be taught the alphabet. The clerk N. M. Zotov gave him lessons. However, the future king received a weak education and was not literate. Rise to power In 1682, after the death of Fyodor Alekseevich, 10-year-old Peter and his brother Ivan were proclaimed kings. But in fact, their elder sister, Princess Sofya Alekseevna, took over the management. At this time, Peter and his mother were forced to move away from the yard and move to the village of Preobrazhenskoye. Here Peter 1 developed an interest in military activities; he created “amusing” regiments, which later became the basis of the Russian army. He is interested in firearms and shipbuilding. He spends a lot of time in the German Settlement, becomes a fan of European life, and makes friends. In 1689, Sophia was removed from the throne, and power passed to Peter I, and the management of the country was entrusted to his mother and uncle L.K. Naryshkin. Death and legacy Before his death, Peter I was very ill, but continued to rule the state. Peter the Great died on January 28 (February 8), 1725 from inflammation of the bladder. The throne passed to his wife, Empress Catherine I. The strong personality of Peter I, who sought to change not only the state, but also the people, played a vital role in the history of Russia. Cities were named after the Great Emperor after his death. Monuments to Peter I were erected not only in Russia, but also in many European countries. One of the most famous is the Bronze Horseman in St. Petersburg. Peter combined opposite character traits. At the same time, he was hot-tempered and cold-blooded, wasteful and thrifty to the point of stinginess, cruel and merciful, demanding and condescending, rude and gentle, calculating and rash. All this created a kind of emotional background against which Peter’s state, diplomatic and military activities took place. For all the diversity of Peter’s character traits, he was a surprisingly integral person. The idea of serving the state, in which the king deeply believed and to which he subordinated his activities, was the essence of his life. It permeated all his endeavors. If we keep this in mind, then the apparent inconsistency and sometimes contradictory nature of his activities acquire a certain unity and completeness.яё As the emperor’s biographers wrote, “this is roughly what a wealthy Russian man ate.” However, most of all, according to Peter’s contemporaries, he loved pearl barley porridge with milk, and on fasting days - with almond milk. That is why pearl barley was subsequently given to Russian soldiers. In addition, the emperor adored black bread, radish and all dishes prepared from it - from spicy-salty to sickly-sweet. According to the source, Peter I had an extraordinary appearance: was very tall (presumably 204 cm); the size of his clothes according to the modern size chart corresponded to 48, and his foot size hardly reached 39; given his height, he must have been very thin and narrow-shouldered; contemporaries noted that Peter was well built, had a pleasant face, but was periodically distorted by cramps; beautiful black eyes sometimes took on a wild expression
