Strelets 905 1/72 Great Northern War Court and Army of Peter the Great (4 Sets incl.)

The term 'revolution' is usually taken to mean the overthrow of a government by the governed, but in Peter I, the Great, Russia had one of her greatest revolutionaries, and he did it from the top of the social pile, not the bottom. He determined from an early age that Russia must modernise and become a major player in European politics rather than the fringe land barely noticed by so much of the continent. His impact on Russian society was tremendous, and often unpopular, and while not all his reforms were to stand the test of time he nevertheless succeeded in dragging his country into a new imperial age. For our purposes his two most important targets for reform were the army and the Court, both of which are depicted in this large set from Strelets.
