About the book: 2016 / Imagine that a time machine took you to the 17th–18th centuries, when the country was ruled by Peter the Great...What you see? How do you dress? How do you make a living? How much do you get paid? What do you eat? Where do you live? The authors of this book will once and for all change your view of the Russian Empire, showing that history can be studied by plunging into it and seeing everything with your own eyes. The book “Russia in the Age of Peter the Great” will take you back in time and allow you to wander the streets, look into the palace chambers, barracks and houses of ordinary people, debunk legends and reveal little-known facts.
