A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Peter the Great's reign and his radical push to modernize Russia along Western European lines. They discuss his Grand Embassy to Europe in 1697-1698, the brutal suppression of the Streltsy uprising, the founding of Saint Petersburg, and the introduction of new taxes, dress codes, and administrative reforms. The episode also covers the Great Northern War and the eventual establishment of Russia as a major European power. Key figures include Peter I, Charles XII of Sweden, and Tsarevich Alexei. The conversation distinguishes between Peter's achievements and the human cost of his reforms, including the use of serf labor and the torture of his own son.
