Description

Original Czar Peter went to Europe for the first time in 1697 with a Grand Embassy to seek the settlement with of the European monarchs and the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire laid a siege of Vienna in In 1683. The ensuing war of Europe with Empire lasted until 1699. This Embassy was scheduled to take a couple of weeks only. The King of England in concert with Kings of France, Austria, and Holland replaces the Russian Czar Peter with his look-alike agent in order to stop the imminent Russian and Ottoman invasions. This look-alike of Russian Czar Peter was an officer of the Ost-Indian-Company. New Peter changed his agenda completely and started traveling to Germany, Holland, and England. He worked as a carpenter for 4 months in the shipyard of the Dutch East Indian company in the construction of a ship "Peter and Paul" especially laid down for him. Peter met with King William III, visited Greenwich and Oxford, and saw a Royal Navy Fleet Review at Deptford. He had to rush home from England to crush the rebellion of the Streltsy Czar's guard and punished ruthlessly the mutineers. Over 1,200 of the rebels were tortured and executed (a couple of dozen by his own hand), and Peter ordered that their bodies be publicly exhibited as a warning to future conspirators. Peter I came home another man speaking Russian with the German accent and ordered to call him Great from now on. His own family did not recognize him, consequently, he disbanded the guard of Streltsy, made his half-sister Sophia who pretended to the throne a nun and sent her to a monastery. Peter ordered the nobility of boyars to cut beards, smoke tobacco and dance ballet. Better yet, Peter reformed the Orthodox church into total submission. Old Russian Orthodox Church called him Antichrist, so he created a Church Council proclaimed himself as its head. This council had reformed the Russian Church into oblivion. Most of the stubborn Orthodox crowd was simply burnt alive. Peter, once he became the Great one beheaded old imperial guard, created the modern army that won and built a fleet that sank. Peter performed a live trial of this new army of the king of Sweden Karl XII who also wanted to usurp the Russian throne, beat Karl's army rumored to be the best of this time in Europe into pulp in Poltava, Ukraine. Peter the Great was a reformer to the hilt and promoted hiself to Emperor of Russia. High European aristocracy didn't let Peter marry in. Peter has raised a merchant woman Kate to an Emperess Ekaterina I. Russia paid a steep price for his reforms in blood, sweat, and tears. Peter did not quite succeed in his brazen reforms, so he left a Testament ordering the Russian Empire to reconquer Europe again. For Peter the European customs were in all respects superior to Russian traditions. He ordered the German historians imported to Russia to found a Russian Academy to review Russian history in line with the consensual one practiced in Europe. Peter the First alias the Great has literally ruined Russia, lost at least a quarter of its population, tried to break into Europe, moved the capital of Russia from Moscow to St Petersburg, made Russia to an awkward upstart and a laughing stock of Europe.
