Russian history is pretty wild. Tsarist Russia was in a league by itself. There were two main dynasties, The Rurikids and The Romanovs. Today we'll be discussing the "patriarch" of the Romanov Dynasty and the guy who brought Russia into the modern age. Peter Alekseyevich Romanov had decided he was going to drag Russia into the future whether they wanted to or not. Now Peter wasn't the kinda of dude to send out envoys or ambassadors to do his business, he wanted to stretch his legs around Europe personally. Learning the crafts of ship building from the Dutch to build Russia's first navy. Seeing how artillery worked Prussia to development a modern army. Studying the systems of governance used by other European powers all while his "Grand Embassy" drank and partied their way across the continent. His accomplishments can still be felt today however, there's always another side to the story, and Peter's gets pretty dark. Join us as we discuss the life and times of Peter the Great.

The Lennusadam naval museum is located in the Tallinn aeroplane harbour, in a building originally constructed as a hangar for seaplanes in the area of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress. The hall has an area of 8,000 m2 (86,000 sq ft) and was put out of service during the Soviet era. The space has a lot of history as well as a fascinating, dense acoustic - here we tour the space via elevated walkways, periodically listening in to "acoustic posts" with interviews about naval life, and the drone of a huge fan designed to show visitors the physics of engine function. Recorded by Cities and Memory.
“I like an Englishman to look like an Englishman, and beards are foreign and breed vermin. Also depend upon it, they will lead to filthy habits.” Europe has had a love-hate relationship with facial hair since the Late Middle Ages. In the eleventh century, beards were celebrated as an expression of fertility caused by men's “hot breath”. Yet by the turn of the twentieth century, a clean shaven man represented the youth and vigour celebrated in corporate culture. But how did the Reformation impact opinions on beards? Why did Peter the Great instate a tax on beards in Russia? How did the Crimean War lead to the popularity of the Victorian beard? And why did The Beatles end up bearded? Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the evolution of the modern beard. With a cast of hairy and hairless characters including the bearded witches of Macbeth, cricketer Winston Churchill, Jeremy Corbyn, George Best, W. G. Grace, Charles Darwin, and Lord Kitchener… _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Paul Harvey - Peter The Great
We're back talkin' about a bonafide hockey legend — international superstar Peter Forsberg! The man known as Foppa, or Peter The Great, was an absolute force in international play and still holds the record for World Junior points — both career and in an individual tourney. Sadly his NHL career was hampered by injuries, but he was still part of two cup winning teams in Colorado, and was a key part of one of the league's biggest trades ever! Then we talk Jets — the boys had been hittin' the snooze on their east coast swing and have dropped three in a row. Time for some home cooking and hopefully a return to form before they hit the home stretch. And finally, fantasy playoffs are upon us — does Tommy's squad squeak in or does his season long ‘tendy woes do him in — so much math!This week's tunes are a trio of absolute bangers — welcome to our listeners new and old!
Choice Classic Radio presents The Saint, which aired from 1945 to 1951. Today we bring to you the episode titled “Peter the Great.” Please consider supporting our show by becoming a patron at http://choiceclassicradio.com We hope you enjoy the show!
Tsar Peter Romanov was a strong leader who overcame difficult odds to seize the throne of Russia, then forge his dominion into a dominant Empire that became a powerful force in European politics for years to come, but he was also possibly the hardest-partying world leader in all of human history.

A monarch travelling in disguise on a secret mission to build an alliance and discover technology to save his empire? What is this, a fantasy novel? No This is the Grand Embassy of Peter The Great. Having already sent some young nobles abroad to study nautical matters, Peter, in 1697, went with the so-called Grand Embassy to western Europe. The embassy comprised about 250 people, with the “grand ambassadors” Franz Lefort, Fyodor Alekseyevich Golovin, and Prokopy Voznitsyn at its head. Its chief purposes were to examine the international situation and to strengthen the anti-Turkish coalition, but it was also intended to gather information on the economic and cultural life of Europe.

A giant of Russian history, and a giant of a man. Peter the Great, standing at 6'8, established Russia as the world power that it is today and is famously one of Vladimir Putin's inspirations. He expanded Russia's borders, modernised the state, and built St Petersburg from a swamp. Yet with all this, he still found time for drunken debauchery of the most absurd level; he enjoyed dwarf-throwing, wheelbarrow racing, and creating the position of Archdeacon Fuck-Off for his ministers. Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by Simon Sebag Montefiore to discuss the quite unbelievable life of Peter the Great, the first emperor of Russia.

In probably our most scandocious episode yet, we are joined by the world's best bike rider Greg Smith to talk Bad Books' song Pyotr. The indie jam tells of an alleged affair Tsarina Catherine (not Catherine the Great) had which was later discovered by her husband Tsar Peter the Great and ended with rather macabre results. A brief discussion of 17th Century Russia, Peter the Great, St. Petersburg, and the supposed legend surrounding this event ensues. Громъ побҍды, раздавайся!

It's the early morning of June the 26th, 1718 and in the basement of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St Petersburg, Russia, lies a young man. His face is covered in bruises, his back is bleeding, and his eyes are sunken holes in their sockets, wreathed in black. The door is flung open, and another man strides into the prison chamber. In his hand is a hard leather whip about three and a half feet long, ending in a beak-like hook. He walks over to the prisoner, who closes his eyes and quietly sobs. He knows what's coming. The prisoner is Tsarevich Alexei, heir to the Russian throne. His torturer is his own father, Tsar Peter the Great. Peter the Great was one of the most bloody and brutal rulers in Russian history. Known for leading his own torture interrogations, and using forced labour to construct his architectural visions, his son is only one of thousands of people who will suffer at his hands during his reign. Yet he is remembered as one of Russia's greatest ever rulers. Creating a navy, a city, and being one of the first Tsars to travel Europe in 100 years, his love of science and learning saw him transform his antiquated realm into a European power of the modern age. But given the high price paid by his people, his predisposition for violence, and how the future of his reign was cemented by torture, can he truly be seen as Peter ‘the Great' today?

Peter the Great's decision to ban beards was unpopular, not only because it was a significant challenge to tradition but also because shaving a beard was interpreted by some Orthodox Christians as being ...
Peter The Great levied a tax on facial hair on 5th September, 1698, requiring every man in Moscow to shave or stump up some cash - although there were exemptions for the Orthodox Church. The hare-brained scheme occurred to the eccentric Peter on his expeditions through Europe, where he came to see clean chins as symbolic of progress and sophistication. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover Peter's other ‘European rules of comportment'; convert the costs of Peter's taxes into the highly-relatable metric of ‘sturgeon from North'; and reveal how a similar tax was proposed in New Jersey as recently as 1907… Further Reading: • ‘Russia: A Reference Guide from the Renaissance to the Present' (Mauricio Borrero, 2009): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Russia/dhm0cGdrTOIC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=beard+tax+1698&pg=PA83&printsec=frontcover • ‘10 terrible taxes in history' (HistoryExtra, 2018): https://www.historyextra.com/period/general-history/10-terrible-taxes/ • ‘Ten Minute History - Peter the Great and the Russian Empire' (History Matters, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tBNr2gjAA0 For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/Retrospectors We'll be back tomorrow!

A team of volunteers made up of Ukrainians, Europeans, and Americans is working on retrofitting civilian vehicles into battle trucks for the Ukrainian army. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has seen drones play a more central role in combat, which could even influence outcome of the bloody conflict. Anonymous, the decentralized hacktivist collective and movement, which swore to fight Russia on the cyber front to punish the Kremlin for what it calls a "special military operation," has now hacked into a weapons company, which handles the Russian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), getting its hands on tactics and plans. Russian President Vladimir Putin compared himself to Peter the Great, the nation's first emperor, last week because they each sought to capture land they believed belonged to Russia.

PS The intelligence gameOver three months in the grinding war in Ukraine, events have shifted their focus to the Donbas. Even here, where the Russians have a distinct advantage in artillery and rocket forces, and where its supply lines are shorter, the Ukrainians continue to go toe to toe with their enemy. Russian gains have been slow and often amount to little more than squeezing out salients and pushing out Ukrainian forces from areas already dominated by Russia. Attrition of Russian forces has been heavy, witnessed by their recourse to 1960's vintage T62 tanks. Ukrainian losses have also been heavy in this relentless campaign, yet large supplies of weaponry from the US and others will continue to be a game changer and allow Ukraine both to defend its territory and to mount selective counter- offensives. Kherson, northeast Ukraine and the east of the Dnieper will all be areas to watch. Russian failures will continue to mount and its inability to dominate the air space will undermine any offensive thrusts that it chooses to make.We believe that by the end of August, after a war lasting 6 months, Russia will have truly lost its way and its aggressive impetus.So it goes,Tom Assheton & James Jackson Reading reference:Putin the Putrid - essay by James Jackson Feb 2015 read by Jo Pelissier See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

Let's go back to the year 1700, a cold, gray late November day in Estonia. Let's go back to the age of muskets and bayonets, of dragoons and hussars. To a time when the Lion of the North, the Last Viking, young Charles XII of Sweden was sizing up his first meal, Peter the "not yet" Great of Russia. Let's go back to the battle of Narva! Facing a vastly numerically superior enemy (that was dug-in) with a well defended position with heavy artillery support, Charles XII of Sweden would have been wise to not attack. But then he wouldn't have been Charles XII. Using a sudden snow squall to mask his advance, Charles and the Swedish army attacked the dug-in Russian line and the first great victory of The Great Northern War was won.

The violence wrought by Vladimir Putin on Ukraine was foretold by him in many ways over many years leading up to the invasion. It seems to me that he wants more than the return of the Soviet Union, he may not settle for anything less than a return to the Russian Empire as built by Peter The Great. Yes, Czarist fantasies dance in his head, and for the time being, Ukraine is paying the piper.
