Article type Scientific
Annotation The role of an individual in history is examined on the example of the Russian tsar, and then the emperor, professional engineer and builder of Peter I. The analyses of documents, historical and genetic biographical methods are used. Particular attention is paid to the peculiarities of Peter I personality formation in his childhood, adolescence and in his youth in specific historical conditions, at home and during a trip to a number of European countries as a part of the Grand Embassy. It is noted that the desire for learning manifested itself in the future king and emperor in early childhood. The low level of education and training in the homeland was largely compensated by Dutch, German and English teachers and craftsmen. The foreign trip enabled Peter I to gain experience, theoretical and empirical knowledge, which he was able to put into practice with his people, creating a mighty Russian power by building a new capital – St. Petersburg, opening many new scientific institutions and technical educational institutions. It is concluded that, despite the objections of critics, Peter I is a unique historical figure, an outstanding politician
