A proposito di questo titolo

 In this pilot episode, we meet the towering figure of Peter the Great as he storms into history—literally. We begin at the Kremlin in 1682, with a ten-year-old boy hiding from the chaos of the Streltsy Uprising. That boy, Peter, would grow into a six-foot-seven tsar who dragged Russia out of its medieval past and into the modern world, often by force. We explore the grand embassy that sent him west to learn shipbuilding and science in disguise, the building of St. Petersburg from a swamp at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, and the brutal reforms that reshaped the army, the church, and the nobility. Lucas and Luna discuss how Peter's personal curiosity—his love for ships, tools, and anatomy—drove a national transformation. They also reckon with the dark side: the torture of his own son, the crushing of dissent, and the serfdom that underwrote it all. This episode sets the stage for a series that will dive into the wars, the architecture, the court intrigues, and the legacy of a tsar who was both a visionary and a tyrant. From the Baltic to the Caspian, from the axe to the telescope, Peter's Russia was born in blood and ambition.
