The figure of Emperor Peter the Great, as well as the era of his formation and reign, still excites the minds of people all over the world. The creators answer the questions of how to take the throne when you are the fourteenth child in the family; how to win access to the sea when there is no professional army and navy in the country; how to bring a country that no one considered before into world leaders in a few decades, and many others.
