RUSS EMPEROR ONCE LIVED HERE
&
praag
HEINIE SNIDER of Wasilla, who with his wife is now vis
iting in Zaandam, Holland, forwarded the above picture
to The Frontiersman. The building shown was once the
home of Peter the Great of Russia. Only the left half is
now standing.
By HEINIE SNIDER
Toward the end of the 17th
Century, Czar Peter the Great,
whose foremost desire was
the realization of his dream to
make Russia great, conceived
the plan to become personally
acquainted with civilization,
commerce and shipbuilding in
Europe.
The fame of Dutch ship
building, of which the town of
Zaandam was the center, had
penetrated as far as Russia.
Many people from Zaandam
had even worked in St. Peters
burg.
In 1697, the Czar arrived
here incognito, and was em
ployed by Lynoz Rogge as a
helper in shipbuilding.
In May, 1698, the Czar paid
his second visit to Zaandam,
staying in the home of a fellow
shipbuilder; and in May, 1717,
he returned for a third visit,
this time as emperor of all
Russia. He was accompanied
by his wife, Czarina Cathari
na, many students, and the
merchant Michiels Z. Galff.
He conversed with the common
people, able to do so because
he had learned to speak Dutch.
Czar Peter was a very tall
man, almost seven feet. Wher
ever he went, the people fol
lowed to admire the great man.
In 1818, the house shown in
the picture was bought by
King William I of Holland to
!
present it to the grand duch
ess, Anna Paulouna of Russia,
who in 1816 married the crown
prince of the Netherlands.
Later, King William II, in
order to preserve the historical
little house from total ruin, or
dered a brick building con
structed around the house.
In 1879, King William III
presented the house to his
majesty, Alexander III of Rus
sia.
From then on. it has been
protected from the influence
of moisture.
Napoleon, who visited the
house, exclaimed, “For the
great man. nothing is too
small.”
Years ago, as a boy I stood
with my Dad in the same little
house and read and heard much
of this great Russian. Royalty,
in those days, was tops. But
history changes the tempo,
Russia has changed to Com
munism, and my admiration
for Peter the Great has chang
ed, also, for while it is true
that the big man lived in a
small house to learn shipbuild
ing in Zaandum, it is also true
that, like Napoleon, he was a
first-rate butcher.
For it was Peter the Great
who, in order to supress a rev
olution in St. Petersburg, pla
ced large iron pots on the
streets and had his people boil
ed in oil.
