Beschreibung
A narrative of the fifty years of political struggles at the Russian court, 1671–1725. This book shows how Peter the Great was not the all-powerful tsar working alone to reform Russia, but that he colluded with powerful and contentious aristocrats in order to achieve his goals. After the early victory of Peter's boyar supporters in the 1690s, Peter turned against them and tried to rule through favourites - an experiment which ended in the establishment of a decentralized 'aristocratic' administration, followed by an equally aristocratic Senate in 1711. The aristocrats' hegemony came to an end in the wake of the affair of Peter's son, Tsarevich Aleksei, in 1718. After that moment Peter ruled through a complex group of favourites, a few aristocrats and appointees promoted through merit, and carried out his most long-lasting reforms. The outcome was a new balance of power at the centre and a new, European, conception of politics.

Zusammenfassung
A history of Russian politics during a fifty-year period which saw the transformation of Russia into a more or less European monarchy by Peter the Great. It demonstrates that at the core of Russian politics was the interaction of the tsar and the ruling elite. Peter managed to largely master that contentious elite by a series of compromises, ultimately towards a compromise which favoured new men without excluding the aristocrats entirely. The outcome was a new balance of power at the centre, and a new Europeanized culture.
