Download or read book The History of Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) written by Voltaire. This book was released on 2017-11-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia, Vol. 1 Who could have pretended to say, in the year 1700, that a magnificent and polite court would be formed at the extremity of the Gulf of Finland? That the inhabitants of Solikamsk, Kazan, and the banks of the Volga and Sok, would be ranked among our best disciplined troops, and gain victories in Germany, after defeating the Swedes and the Turks; that an empire two thousand leagues in length, almost unknown to us before, should in the space of fifty years become a well-governed state, and extend its influence to all the European courts? And that in 1759, the most zealous patron of learning in Europe, should be a Russian? Any one who had said this would have passed for the most chimerical mortal on earth. Peter the Great, therefore, who singly planned and executed this amazing and altogether unforeseen revolution, is, perhaps, of all princes, the one whose deeds are most worthy of being transmitted to posterity.

De scription of the premature luxury of Kief. Obstacles thrown in the way of Russian civilization, by the situation of that capital, exposing it perpetually to the incursions of the Nomade tribes, to civil wars, and lastly, to endless mutations of fortunes and properties. Happy influence of Christianity; and, nevertheless, new and invincible oh stacles to the civilizing of the Russians, ascribed to barbarian habi tudes, the vanity of men of confirmed habits, and especially to the destruction of. Kief, which exclusively contained the principal seeds of that civilization. Sketch of the progression of calamities, igno rance, and demoralization, which spread over the Russian Empire till the end of the first dynasty. Page 48 - 54.
