Description
According to sociological surveys, in the early 21st century Russians consider Peter the Great the most outstanding compatriot of all times and peoples.
Of course, there are other opinions as well.
Almost no one of his rulers, the Russian people forgave anything. They forgave Peter everything. He justified hundreds of thousands of wasted lives, the murder of sons, and the delay of the law on succession to the throne—which pushed the continuation of reforms for more than a hundred years.
The personality of Peter the Great has always interested the greatest Russian writers. The prose trilogy—“Christ and Antichrist” (“The Death of the Gods. Julian the Apostate,” 1896; “The Risen Gods. Leonardo da Vinci,” 1901; “Peter and Alexey,” 1904)—by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky (1865–1941), a prose writer, poet, playwright, religious philosopher, and critic, designed to portray the struggle between Christ and Antichrist throughout world history, brought him pan-European fame.
