There were 3 emperors of Russia that were named Peter. He was the son of Czar Alexei and was born in Moscow. His father died in 1676 leaving the throne to his eldest son Feodor who died in 1682 naming Peter as his successor. Peter was a tall thin man and he was eager to take Russia from the backward nation to the modern nation of his time. He built St. Petersburg ( I was there last summer and it was a beautiful city), started the Russian navy, and built a palace called Peterhof . He did a great deal, but to describe it all here would take too long. There is a lot of books on him if you are interested.
