Peter devoted himself entirely to the country, to work for the good of the country. He was a workaholic, which probably led him to the grave. Periodic overexertion from tireless work later led to such severe malfunctions. But they were not the main thing. The main thing was tireless work. And Peter did not suffer people without zeal.
