The sight of Peter was, like, 40 years. All the clothes and shoes he had to alter, because even the foot size changed. Warm relationship with the people he changed to cold hypocrisy and a visit to Russia, he never wore anything Russian.Look Peter is different, that you can easily check by looking at his portraits of different times. For 2 years he has completely forgotten how to write in Russian and spoke it with difficulty.With the arrival of the "new" Peter began to spend quite a strange reform. One of these was to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco. Earlier people were only drinking honey liqueur and beer, and Smoking in General is considered a sin. One of the notable reforms was the introduction of serfdom. It's pretty funny, since one of the goals of the trip to Europe was to look for free work of people.Even the "new" king began to collect all the literature of the country of making copies. Here only copies he made, and the originals disappeared. There was even a community of monks who refused to give his books, and he fought with them.During the Embassy, Peter was actively texting with his wife eudoxie. After his arrival in 1698, Peter arrives and, not Vidyas with it immediately banishes her to a convent. Son of Peter, Alexis, pseudo-Peter sends away from himself. The people talking that the Emperor isn't real.Each king, from generation to generation, passed down the secret location of the great Library of Ivan the terrible. New Peter "accidentally" forgot, where the main mystery of the country. But Sophia, sister of Peter, which he also sent to the monastery, not only knew where the library, but even went there with this Peter, but the new did not.In Europe, with the present Peter has left 200 people, but only one returned. It was Alexander Menshikov. After his arrival he began to titles and estates, and not only in Russia but throughout the world, but he was just an Advisor Petro. He is the only nobleman who was made a Duke and he's the only Russian, who in 1714 became a member of the Royal society of London. And a confirmation letter signed by the Isaac Newton.

Romanov left.What happened to the real Peter? There is a legend about a prisoner in the iron mask.Prisoner in the iron (actually, velvet) mask actually existed and it appears just in 1698. The surviving description of the prisoner, he was not a Frenchman, a young, aristocratic gentleman..

Вот русский вариант: Тула является одним из старейших городов России. Ее исторический возраст больше, чем у Москвы. Издревле этот край был населен славянским племенем вятичей. Об этом свидетельствует множество сохранившихся до наших дней курганов и городищ. Вятичи промышляли тем же, чем и многие их современники: возделывали землю, занимались ремеслом, торговлей. В течение первых столетий своего существования Тула ничем не отличалась от других населённых мест этого края. Это было небольшое, огорожено частоколом поселение - острог, расположенный на островке при слиянии рек Упы и Тулицы.
     Тула впервые упоминается в  Никоновской летописи XVI века. Упоминая военные действия 1146 года в рассказе о том, как новгород-северский князь от воинственных братьев, скрылся в лесах вятичей и затем с оставшейся ратью ходил собирать дань с Тулы и других городов Никон говорит так:  «Святослав Ольгович, идее в Рязань, и быв во Мценске и в Туле, и в Дубке, на Дону, и в Ельце, и в Пронске, и придя в Рязань на Оку». Из этого можно сделать вывод, что к моменту первого упоминания город уже существовал, однако установить хотя бы приблизительную дату основания города невозможно. Вполне вероятно, что возникновение поселения относится к XI—XII векам. 
     Впрочем, некоторые историки, основываясь на том, что это упоминание является вставкой в текст, сделанной позднейшими летописцами XVI века, не признают достоверным такое свидетельство. Но и они не отрицают существования какого-то поселения на "старом городище", о котором упоминается в писцовых книгах, при впадении в Упу речки Тулицы.  Так что вполне возможно, что история Тулы началась еще в IX-XI веках, когда та была одним из маленьких укрепленных поселений. 
А вот английский вариант:
Tula is one of the oldest cities in Russia. Its historic age is greater than that of Moscow. Since ancient times, this region was inhabited by the Slavic tribe Vyatichi. This is evidenced by the set of surviving mounds and mounds. Vyatichi hunted the same things, and many of their contemporaries: cultivated land, engaged in trade, commerce. During the first centuries of its existence, Tula was no different from other populated areas of the province. It was a small, fenced stockade settlement - the prison, located on an island at the confluence of the river Upa and Tulitsa.
Tula was first mentioned in Nikon's chronicle of the XVI century. Referring to the military action in 1146 in the story of how Novgorod-Seversky Prince to escape the militant brothers disappeared in the woods Vyatichi and then with the rest Ratiu went to collect tribute from Tula and other cities Nikon says: "Svyatoslav II of Kiev, the idea in Ryazan, and having been in Mtsensk and Tula, and Oaks, on the Don, and in Yelets and Pronsk, and come in Ryazan on Oka ". From this we can conclude that at the time the first mention of the city already existed, but have at least an approximate date of founding of the city impossible. It is likely that the origin of the settlement refers to the XI-XII centuries.
However, some historians, based on the fact that this mention is inserted into the text by later chroniclers made the XVI century, do not recognize a valid certificate. But they do not deny the existence of some settlements in the "old fort", which is mentioned in the scribe books, at the confluence of the river Upa Tulitsa. So it is quite possible that the history of Tula began in the IX-XI centuries, when it was one of the small fortified settlements.
