Empire Day One of the most distant stars you can see with the naked eye is Deneb. It is located almost three thousand light years away. This means that when you look at this star, the light you see began its journey to Earth when ancient Rome first appeared. If Danev dies, we will still see him for thousands of years. The Russian Empire is already dead, but we still live under the light of this dead star. Great Russian literature, theater, ballet, opera and even the space program emerged from the Russian Empire. All this is magnificent that the Russians can really be proud of. Everything beautiful that the Russians are associated with everywhere on the planet. Today we will talk about how this Russian star rose to the sky of the world. After all, exactly 305 years ago, Russia became an empire, and Tsar Peter I was proclaimed emperor. And this event is definitely worth celebrating seriously. Yeltsin's independence from the communists is not really something to celebrate. From the very beginning of his reign, Peter I dreamed of making Russia great. Great not again, but for the first time. This was hampered by many factors, starting with the uncertainty of the status of the ruler of Moscow. In diplomatic documents of the time, the Russian tsars were called kings, then princes or "kasars". Moreover, in Europe at that time there was only one emperor - the Holy Roman Empire. After him came kings - English, French and others, and then dukes. The ambitious Czar Peter decided to aim for the title of chief in the entire continent. To become an empire, Russia had to crush the most powerful country in Northern Europe - Sweden. Our blessed ancestors coped with this task brilliantly, and the supreme name Poltava remains a familiar name to this day. Then Peter's comrade-in-arms, Archbishop Fiofen Prokopovich, proposed to proclaim the Tsar emperor. This idea won support in the Senate.
