Another fascinating presentation by Vadim. Lots and lots of information about an area of history about which I knew very little. Peter the Great was an incredible figure who almost single-handedly changed the history of Russia.
Thorough and succinct presentation. The slide presentation was very well done.
Vladimir is the best presenter I've had in these Context Conversations. His lecture was obviously prepared, but sounded lively when he delivered it. Great engagement with his topic.
Detailed and informative overview of Peter the Great
