In Serbian news channel they talked about it and glorified him about how he was ‘‘good tsar who did good things’’ etc etc. Didn’t this guy like commit genocide in Circassia and sold Alaska if I remember correctly? Can someone tell me more about him and why is he glorified?

I miss Leningrad so goddam much☭😭

    By all probablity he was worse than Ivan since Ivan got his history written by historians serving his enemies, while Peter understood the meaning of propaganda and ensured he is remembered fondly.

    He was a tyrant, but a competent one.
