Supports the "Great Man" theory of Russian history
This book buys right into the theory that Russians are incapable of self-government and require a tyrannical dictator to haul them into order. Sheesh.This is a 1986 book by Diane Stanley, and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Like all her books, this one is magnificently illustrated in the style of the time and place -- breathtaking illustrations on every page are more than worthwhile.However, it is this kind of reading of Peter the Great forcibly modernizing a backward and reluctant traditional people that led to Lenin, Dzerzhinsky, Stalin... and Putin.Don't give a boost to history's bad guys by telling them people are incapable of self-rule.
