Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique perspective into the Russian court during the reign of Peter the Great through the diary of Johann Georg Korb, a diplomat from the court of Vienna, who was sent as an envoy to Moscow in 1698. The author meticulously traces the envoy's journey from Vienna through Poland to Moscow, giving an account of the geographical and political landscape of the time. Once at the court, Korb gives a detailed insider's view of the inner workings of the Russian government and society, offering insights into the personality of Peter the Great and the reforms he was instituting. The book also sheds light on the complex political alliances and conflicts of the period, including the ongoing war with the Ottoman Empire and the shifting alliances between Russia, Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire. Through Korb's eyes, the reader gains a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities of Peter the Great's reign, providing valuable historical context for understanding Russia's emergence as a major European power.
