A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore Peter the Great's controversial campaign to Westernize Russian society, focusing on the infamous beard tax of 1698. They discuss how Peter enforced clean-shaven faces among nobles, the symbolic resistance of Old Believers, the token system for those who paid the tax, and the deeper cultural clash between traditional Muscovite values and European modernity. Learn about the role of the Preobrazhensky Regiment in enforcing these laws, the impact on Russian identity, and how Peter's cultural reforms paved the way for Russia's emergence as a European power. The episode also touches on the Table of Ranks and the role of the Orthodox Church in resisting change, offering a nuanced look at one of history's most unusual taxes.
