Publisher's Synopsis
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. After spending 3 years in Holland and Germany Peter I came home another man speaking Russian with the German accent and ordered to call him Great from now on. Peter ordered the nobility 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 just had to reform it 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 on 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 into pulp in Poltava, Ukraine. Peter the Great was a reformer to the hilt. 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.Why invented Antiquity and Dark Ages?The consensual world history was manufactured in Europe in XVI-XIX centuries with political agenda of powers of that period on the basis of erroneous chronology elaborated by Jesuits Joseph Justus Scaliger and Dionysius Petavius. - By the middle of XVI th century the prime political agenda of Europe that reached superiority in Sciences and Technologies, but was still inferior militarily to the Evil Empire of Eurasia, was to free Europe.- The concerted effort of European aristocracy, black and white Catholic clergy, Protestants, humanists and scientists in XV - XVII th centuries in creation and dissemination of fictional Ancient World served this agenda.- The fictional Ancient World was created by representing events of XI-XVI centuries as ones that happened thousands of years before according to the ancient sources they wrote by authorities they invented.- The European aristocracy, a considerable part of which were fugitives from Byzantine and/or the inheritors of Eurasian warlords, supported the myth of Ancient World to justify its claims to countries they ruled.- The black and white Catholic clergy, Protestants developed and supported the myth of Ancient World to justify their claims of being more ancient and to separate themselves from Eurasian orthodoxy in the countries ruled by European aristocracy.- The scientists supported the myth of Ancient World as safe cover for their heretic research that produced results contrarian to the tenets of Christianity. They justified their discoveries by authorities of ancient scientists they themselves invented and used as pseudonyms.- The humanists developed and supported the myth of Ancient World as a cozy safe haven for their ideas that conflicted with Christianity and aristocracy. They disguised and justified their ideas on authorities of ancient authors of their own making and wrote under their glorious aliases.Saint Augustin being prescient said "..beware of mathematicians, especially when they speak the truth!
