Description:
Brikner Alexander Gustavovich (1834-1896) - Russian historian of German origin. Brikner's study "The History of Peter the Great" became the first popular science essay in Russian historiography about the era and personality of Peter I, based on the latest research in historical thought.The History of Peter the Great is divided into six books. Each part covers a separate topic: the personality of the reforming tsar and his associates, the first years of independent rule, administrative and legislative reforms, and the foreign policy of Peter I.The main scientific interest of Alexander Brikner was the turn of Russia in its development towards Europe - therefore, the era of Peter the Great was of paramount interest to him.The value of the publication also lies in the rich illustrative material related to the Petrine era. The reproduction of drawings, engravings and documents was specially undertaken for this edition, with strict adherence to all the details of the originals, which was necessary to… Read More
