About This Book

Elämäkertateksti esittelee merkittävän hallitsijan lapsuuden, vallankäytön ja kiistanalaiset alkutaipaleet, mukaan lukien Sofiaa vastaan käyty valta-asetelma. Se kuvaa hänen opintomatkojaan länsimaihin, laivanrakennus- ja sotilasoppeihin perehtymistä sekä kotimaassa käynnistettyjä modernisointi- ja uudistusyrityksiä. Keskeisiä teemoja ovat armeijan ja laivaston järjestäminen, verotus- ja talousuudistukset sekä uuden pääkaupungin perustaminen. Kirjoitus käy läpi merkittävät sotatoimet Ruotsia ja turkkilaisia vastaan, joukkojen kapinat kuten streltsejen kukistus sekä kasakoiden levottomuudet. Lisäksi tarkastellaan sivistyksen edistämistä, nuorten lähettämistä ulkomaille opintoihin, perheongelmia kuten Aleksein kohtalo sekä hallitsijan luonteenpiirteitä ja kuolemaa.
