A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of Peter the Great: The Tsar Who Modernized Russia, Lucas and Luna explore the tragic story of Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich, Peter's eldest son and heir. While Peter dragged Russia into modernity, Alexei clung to the old ways, becoming a focal point for conservative opposition. The episode traces Alexei's flight to Vienna, his secret alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor, and his eventual return to Moscow under a promise of pardon. We dig into the brutal investigation led by Peter's trusted lieutenant, Peter Tolstoy, the torture sessions that extracted confessions of treason, and the mysterious death of Alexei in the Peter and Paul Fortress in 1718. Lucas highlights the clash between father and son as a microcosm of Russia's struggle between tradition and reform, and examines the legal innovation of the 1722 Law of Succession, which allowed the tsar to choose his own heir. The episode ends with the chilling legacy of this dynastic crisis—how it set a precedent for imperial succession that would haunt Russia for centuries.
