Putin - about repeating the achievements of Peter I in the 21st century: “[Do you want to repeat the feat of Peter Alekseevich? He succeeded] Peter Alekseevich is a historical figure and he was the Tsar of All Rus’, and then the Emperor. These were different conditions, this was a different state of society, this was a different goal setting. In the modern world, you need to use tools that will work effectively today. And no matter how close we are in our mentality to making quick decisions of an administrative nature, we still need to think about what will happen from what we will offer to society by order. In my opinion, today we need, first of all, to get people interested in moving forward. And if we create conditions for development, then the centers of economic activity will automatically shift there.” Source: Russian Head
