Abstract

The main approaches of Slovak historiography to the study of the personality of Peter the Great and Slovak-Russian contacts during his reign are described. It is emphasised that the traditions of the study of this problem were laid down in the first half of the 20th century. One of the most prominent representatives of this field was professor E. Yu. Perfetsky, who worked at the Comenius University in 1921–1947 and studied the history of Eastern Europe and Subcarpathian Rus’. The most significant works of E. Yu. Perfetsky are analysed, with special attention being paid to those publications that introduced new archival information about the reign of Peter the Great into scientific circulation in the context of the study of Slovak-Russian contacts. It is noted that after 1945, representatives of Slovak historiography focused on Peter the Great’s travels to Europe, relations between Russia and the Habsburg Monarchy during the class uprising of Ferenc II Rakoczy, as well as on the data in D. Krman’s travel diary devoted to events in Belarus and Ukraine during the Northern War.
