very true !
he was a sponge for knowledge when young and built St Petersburgh from a swamp as a way for Russia to look west .
He modernised Russia and built a navy .
all countries indulged in conquest back then but am confident to say a Peter actually WAS great and if in Putins shoes today he'd be building his country much more than Putin is and not destroying others .
Putin might liken himself to Peter but if Peter were alive he'd slap the little man down pretty damned quick I imagine OR Putin would just give hime tea , whichever came first .
