A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Peter the Great's relentless drive to build a Russian navy from scratch. They discuss how Peter, after the Azov campaigns, realized Russia needed a modern fleet to challenge Sweden and secure the Baltic. The conversation covers the construction of the Voronezh shipyards, the establishment of the Admiralty in St. Petersburg, the recruitment of foreign experts like Cornelius Cruys, and the disastrous Pruth River Campaign of 1711. They examine the navy's role in the Great Northern War, from the Battle of Gangut in 1714 to the treaty of Nystad. Lucas explains the harsh life of sailors and the ingenious use of galleys. The episode captures Peter's vision and the immense human cost, ending on a reflective note about the legacy of Russia's maritime power.
