Peter the Great—a biography and documentary about the tsar who built an empire on a swamp. Why did a ruler who learned carpentry in a foreign port sentence his own son to death?
Peter the Great, son of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, is a figure who divided Russian history into two eras. He built a fleet from scratch, founded a new capital on the Neva River, defeated the Swedish superpower at Poltava, and assumed the title of emperor. But this same Peter the Great filled the Tomb of the Executioner with the bodies of the executed and personally participated in the executions.
The central conflict of this story is a man torn between curiosity and cruelty. The boy who, as a ten-year-old, watched his loved ones murdered on the Kremlin porch grew into a ruler consumed by science—learning shipbuilding, anatomy, and artillery. This same man led a year-long torturous investigation and signed his own son's death warrant. The question of what can be done in the name of the state resonates throughout his reign.
The film follows the Riflemen's Mutiny of 1682, the years at Preobrazhenskoye and the birth of the party regiments, the reigns of Tsarina Sophia and Prince Golitsyn, the Great Embassy under the name of non-commissioned officer Pyotr Mikhailov, the defeat at Narva and the triumph at Poltava, the construction of a city in the marshes, the Peace of Nystad, the assignment of entire villages to the Ural ironworks, and the affair of Tsarevich Alexei.
This is a story about the price of great change—the cost of accelerating history and who pays. Disputes over Peter the Great persist to this day, and each viewer must decide for themselves which side they will take.
