Peter the Great is ofthen rightfully ranked among the greatest rulers of Russia. He was the last tzar of Russia and the first emperor of the Great Russian Empire. Through a number of successful wars, he expanded the Tsardom into a much larger empire that became a major European power. His reforms had a lasting impact on Russia, and many institutions of the Russian government trace their origins to his reign. But he also was a raging alcoholic with a very formidable temper. And some of his ideas were really outrageous. Like the introduction of the beard tax throughout Russia in 1705. Today we will talk about this bizarre law.

Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
