B10376 Description An account of the resource From the Land of the South Slavs... Published in Vienna, this calendar of the world's happenings from its beginnings uses the Russian civil alphabet, introduced to the Russians by Peter The Great. The author, Serbian school teacher, writer, historian, and civil servant Zahariah Orfelin used it to write mostly patriotic Serbian and religious poems in Russian Slavonic, even as he touted the Serbian vernacular as the preferred language for his country's literature. His Serbian nationalism – or rather his desire for Serbia's freedom from the Turks – did not deter him from singing Peter's praises in The life and glorious deeds of Peter The Great, in 1772.

Recherches historiques sur l’origine des Sarmates, des Esclavons, et des Slaves St. Pétersbourg: de L’Imp. de Pluchart, 1812. B5119 Description An account of the resource The Grand Inquisitor... Peter the Great had no love for Catholicism, but in the early days of his reign he showed deference to the church. Unfortunately his reforms did little to improve conditions for Catholics, and under Catherine II their situation was made worse, even though she promulgated religious tolerance and proposed a national church independent of Rome. The three partitions of Poland brought thousands of Polish Catholics to Russia, including this ambitious Polish bishop, Siestrze´ncewicz-Bohusz, descended from a family of Lithuanian Calvinists. Historians are in agreement about the evil character of the man Catherine appointed to the administration of a new diocese (Mohileff) as Catholic Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and later Primate of Lithuania. He was without scruples or honorable motives, wanting only complete despotic power over the Catholic Church in Russia. It was said that during his long episcopate (1774-1826) he was the scourge of both rites. As for the subject of his book, some historians believe the original Slav stomping-grounds were the Pripet marshes (southern Belarus, northwestern Ukraine), whence the Slav tribes (the Sarmates, Esclavons, and Slaves of the title) migrated north across the Great Plain, northwest into Poland, and south into the Balkans. Sarmatia is the name the Romans gave to the steppes beyond the Carpathians and the Black Sea. Finding themselves caught between horse traders and Byzantine culture, without natural frontiers and constantly threatened by invasion, the people remained semi-barbarous, having no leisure for building cities or becoming politically savvy or choreographing ballets. Other historians contend that these southern drifters were a later group, that the original home of the Slavs was to be found not in the steppes, but farther north, in the forests, and that they were closely related to the Swedes, Angles and other northern peoples.

Summerfield E225 Description An account of the resource Crime and Punishment ... Austria's attitude towards pre-Peterburgian but nevertheless Petrine Russia can be seen in this diary of the journey to Moscow of the Count of Guarient and his secretary to the mission, Johann Georg Korb. While Peter was on a tour of Europe near the end of the 1690s, the streltsy, or musketeers, revolted. This reactionary majority, judged to be anti-West, was subsequently tried and executed at Peter's order. Korb was an eyewitness to the bloodletting, and his account of the revenge so angered Peter that the latter complained to the court of Vienna and had all unsold copies of the Diarium destroyed. This copy once belonging to Prince Liechtenstein is one that escaped and survived. Korb had made other insulting observations: noting the huge gap between Russia's rich resources and the bad production record of its impoverished peasant farmers, he said, "The land is fertile enough, if it were not left in uncultivated sterility by the laziness of the people." For Peter, this had to have been the last straw: Russia WOULD have a window onto the West. Sankt Pieter Burkh was about to be founded.

Rerum Moscoviticarum commentarij: Russiae breuissima descriptio. Antwerpiae: in aedibuas Ioannis Steelsij, 1557. Summerfield B705 Description An account of the resource Positively antediluvian; or, Floods looking for a city ... Long before the founding of St. Petersburg, Europeans looked towards Russia like rabbits casing the carrot patch, especially those travelers such as Sigmund von Herberstein in the 16th and Adam Olearius in the 17th century who recognized the importance of that unexplored area for scientific research. Herberstein spoke Russian and as ambassador of, respectively, Emperor Maximilian and Charles V, visited in 1517 and 1526 in an attempt to influence political affairs in the struggle against Turkey. Failing in both those missions he nevertheless collected and published in this work a vast amount of geographical material, historical information, and descriptions of the economics, trade routes and rivers, ways of life and religion in cities and villages. In this map one can see the site of the future Sankt Pieter Burkh south of Lake Ladoga and on the delta of the Neva River. This area was coveted by all the northern powers for access to trade routes to all points East. Peter couldn't have chosen a better – or a worse – spot on which to build a city.

Histoire physique, morale, civile et politique de la Russie ancienne. Paris: Froulle, 1783-1785. 6 vols. and atlas. H82: atlas Description An account of the resource Put Her in a Pumpkin Shell... The palatial Peterhof or Petrodvorets, Peter's favorite home, was 30 versts or about 20 miles from the old St. Petersburg. Was it indeed still part of larger Petersburg today? We discovered that although it's still outside the city limits, the palace complexes (Peterhof, Lomonosov, Gatchina, Tsarskoe Selo) to the south of the city are associated with St. Petersburg as architectural objects in the city itself, as much as Polish king Jan Sobieski's summer residence, Wilanow, has always been associated with Warsaw, in its day well outside the Warsaw city limits. Indeed, the foundation for town planning was laid during the building of St. Petersburg and fundamental principles were then established for buildings such as the Peterhof and other cultural, government and residential buildings. This plate shows the old-style onion domes in the distance and extensive gardens, playgrounds, water fountains surrounded by the walls of the palace itself. At night the gardens were illuminated, and from the fleet in the harbor, guests were entertained with fire-works and "flaming meteors." Nicolas-Gabriel Clerc was physician to the Corps of Cadets at St. Petersburg. This beautiful volume, the atlas to a set extremely scarce in a complete state, has the extra plates and maps intended for subscribers only.

In the 10th century the marshes where Sankt Pieter Burkh would begin to be built almost 800 years later were a part of Novgorod land, originally the area around Lake Il'men, home to the Il'men Slavs. The town of Novgorod, seen here, was the largest settlement. In 1240 Alexandr Nevsky quashed the Swedish army very near the location of the future Russian capital. Between the 12th and 15th centuries the term Novgorod referred to the federal republic, the only true republic in all of Russian history. A German scholar born in Saxony, Olearius was mathematician and librarian for the Duke of Holstein, knew both Russian and Arabic (where is he when we really need him?) and traveled to Russia as a member of the Schleswig-Holstein embassy. Like Sigmund Herberstein's earlier accounts, Olearius's contain maps, drawings, town views, and are rich in descriptions of the geography, history, and lives of the people in the settlements he visited.

The Great Soviet Encyclopedia adopts as Russians many of the European admirers of St. P. who spent much of their lives in Russia. H. F. Storch, a German born in Riga and called Andrei Karlovich Shtorkh in his adoptive country, is, according to the GSE, a Russian economist, historian and bibliographer. It was he who compiled – with the "Patron Saint of ‘Russian' librarians" Friedrich von Adelung – the five-year review of Russian literature, 1810-1811 that marked the beginning of Russian bibliographical statistics.

Histoire de Pierre I. surnommé le grand, empereur de toutes les Russies. A Amsterdam et a Leipzig: chez Arkstée et Merkus, 1742. 3 vols. C6408, v.1 Description An account of the resource All of 6-foot-6 in Stocking Feet... The following quotation is from the column, "Who am I? Test your biography I.Q.," in the pop-magazine Biography for Jan. 2002: One of the most controversial figures in Russian history, I brought many reforms to my country, while crushing those who objected. Convinced that Russia needed to modernize, I toured Western Europe and convinced many craftsmen and technical experts to come to our country; I also sent many citizens abroad to learn Western skills. Proclaimed emperor in 1721, my reign saw Russia's first navy, and my wars against the Ottoman Empire established our nation as a formidable military power. Biographers are in general agreement about Peter's character and intelligence. He was strong willed, energetic, purposeful, curious, with a strong work ethic. He was also hot-tempered and cruel and had his own son, Aleksei, put to death (1718). He was a statesman, military man, and the founding of Petersburg was a first step in carrying out major reforms aimed at overcoming Russia's backwardness relative to the West, and affected all aspects of Russian life. Diplomatic consulates were established abroad for the first time in Russian history; teams of scientists were sent out to survey and develop Russia's vast natural resources; the first Russian museum, the Kunstkammer, was established in 1719 and included a public library; the Petersburg Academy of Sciences, founded in 1725, included a Gymnasium and a university; peasants were mobilized for the new armies and for building towns, canals, fortresses. Mauvillon apparently was not a particular admirer of things Russian (we couldn't ascertain if he'd ever visited Russia, let alone Petersburg). He did spend time as a translator and French teacher in Germany, and served for a while as secretary to the king of Poland. One French biographer wrote that he was cold and opinionated and abusive to his wife and child (just like Peter).

Title A name given to the resource Drevni︠a︡i︠a︡ rossiĭskai︠a︡ istorii︠a︡ ot nachala rossiĭskago naroda do konchiny velikago kni︠a︡zi︠a︡ I︠A︡roslava Pervago ili do 1054 goda / sochinennai︠a︡ Mikhaĭlom Lomonosovym. Description An account of the resource This is the history of Russia after the founding of St. Petersburg... although that's not quite true, because although it was written after the founding, Lomonosov's History takes us only to the year 1054. Maybe the reason for the discrepancy in size between this tome and Mr. Fletcher's little book has to do with the glory of St. Petersburg. Librarians and booksellers are used to seeing "firsts" among the descriptions in booksellers' catalogs, and even though there can be only one "first," Lomonosov uses up a lot of them. He has been called the first great universal genius in Russian history – Pushkin called him "our first university." This volume is the first history of Russia to be written with a western approach, even though the site of the future Sankt Pieter Burkh would still be swampland for another 650 years (a second chronicle brought Russian history up to the reign of Peter the Great). And this is said to be the first Russian book of which an English translation was published. Lomonosov was the son of a peasant and had to overcome great difficulties on his way to becoming the distinguished scholar. He was appointed professor of chemistry at St. Petersburg in 1745, but was also top-notch in geology, geography and other areas of the natural sciences, astronomy, the arts, linguistics, mining and metallurgy, history, and education; he wrote verses and plays, and developed a new method of making colored glass, using it to create mosaic pictures and portraits, including one of Peter the Great. Named after him is a museum in Petersburg as well as a University in Moscow; a single-mirror telescope; an underwater ridge in the Arctic Ocean; a plateau in Norway; a city in Leningrad Oblast; and a mountain range on Novaia Zemlia.
