Russia in the Age of Peter the Great
by by Lindsey Hughes
Hughes recounts the events that shaped Peter's youth, provides an intimate character sketch, and explores his complex family relations (including the tragic conflict with his eldest son Alexis, whom he condemned to death). Her account closes with a reconsideration of the Petrine legacy from Peter's time to our own, as his name and image become harnessed to sell beer and cigarettes and his new statue in Moscow provokes renewed controversy.
