The Weak Czars and the Rise of Peter the Great
A disjointed historical narrative traces Russian rulers from Ivan the Terrible to Peter the Great. It highlights weak successors Theodore and Michael Romanov, selects Anastasia as a wife candidate, and credits Peter the Great with reviving Russia amid church schisms and domestic turmoil. It describes Peter’s upbringing, including a grand nursery court with dwarfs and toy cities, and notes the influence of Natalia Narhishkin on the throne.
