The large-scale historical drama "Birth of an Empire" shows success at the box office - and we continue to publish a series of episodes of the Russian Radio University program "Peter the Great and His Empire".
Historian Kniazki: "Under Peter, Russia broke into Europe - and won its place as one of the first violins."
The author of the series, doctor of historical sciences, professor from the Moscow Economic Institute, honorary worker of higher professional education in Russia Igor Kniazki:.
"Peter has a very realistic policy. He did not set himself impossible tasks. Yes, he did not succeed in everything, but the main goal was success: Russia entered Europe. And not only did she enter, she broke into her. And immediately, which, by the way, never happened, she won a place for herself as one of the first violins in a European orchestra that Peter could never give. Continuity in Europe was really not in favor of this."
