Description
More than three centuries after he sought to bring Russia closer to Europe, Russians mark the 350th birthday of tsar Peter the Great with the country deeply isolated over the Ukraine conflict.
Inspired by his time spent abroad, Peter made huge efforts to modernise his vast and under-developed nation during his rule from 1682 to 1725, most famously building Saint Petersburg as Russia's "window to Europe". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
