Peter the Great

Emperor of All the Russias, Peter the Great launched the transformation of his nation from a medieval society into a Western-style European power. Expert analysis by Professor Lindsay Hughes, of London University’s School of Slavonic and Eastern Studies, and historian Dr. David Moon—plus lush dramatizations of Peter as a child and an adult—emphasizes his sweeping reforms in the areas of government, military science, industry, commerce, education, culture, and even religion. From Peter’s fascination with all things Western, to his convoluted ascension to the throne, to his victory in the Great Northern War, this program neatly sums up the fascinating life of one of European history’s most dynamic figures.
