The image of Peter the Great casts a long shadow in modern Russian thought and culture. As important to modern Russia as the French Revolution is to France and the Reformation is to Germany, the image of this militaristic ruler, founder of St Petersburg, and czar of all Russia from 1689-1725 has been central to Russian history, literature, and art since the early 1700s.; Riasanovsky, one of the foremost historians of Russia, traces the development of this image from 1700 to the present. Drawing examples from Russian historical accounts, literature, folklore, and the arts, he shows how the use of the image of Peter has reflected the changing cultural and political values of the Russian people.

Excerpt from History of Russia and of Peter the Great The first rays of Russian glory about to be eclipsed. It endeavours to effect its interior organization, and to become civilized. A sum mary of its means of civilization, derived from its connection with southern Asia, with the Greeks and Italians, and from its Christian ity, the genius of Vladimir and Yaroslaf, and their longevity. De scription of the premature luxury of Kief. Obstacles thrown in the way of Russian civilization, by the situation of that capital, exposing it perpetually to the incursions of the Nomade tribes, to civil wars, and lastly, to endless mutations of fortunes and properties. Happy influence of Christianity; and, nevertheless, new and invincible oh stacles to the civilizing of the Russians, ascribed to barbarian habi tudes, the vanity of men of confirmed habits, and especially to the destruction of. Kief, which exclusively contained the principal seeds of that civilization. Sketch of the progression of calamities, igno rance, and demoralization, which spread over the Russian Empire till the end of the first dynasty. Page 48 - 54.

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?

Many books chronicle the remarkable life of Russian tsar Peter the Great, but none analyze how his famous reforms actually took root and spread in Russia. By century's end, Russia was poised to play a critical role in the Napoleonic wars and boasted an elite culture about to burst into its golden age. In The Revolution of Peter the Great, James Cracraft offers a brilliant new interpretation of this pivotal era.
