註釋The first chapter of this catalogue of an exhibition at the Menshikov Palace branch of the Hermitage Museum gives Menshikov his due for turning a marshy delta won from the Swedes into a new capital. After being given the task by Peter the Great, Menshikov commandeered workers, carpenters, and masons from all over Russia, scheduling seven-day work weeks, and approving architects' plans that would determine the city's layout to this day. Other chapters describe Menshikov's palace as the seat of state in St. Petersburg's first years as capital and outline the long process of restoration as the building's importance as one of the few extant buildings of the period was gradually realized. -- Summary written by John W. Emerich, Bronze Horseman Literary Agency.
