Peter the Great and Stalin: why one "great" and the other "dictator"

Human society changes and develops in time. Each era has given the world people whose names do not go out of their mouths today. No wonder they say: "history is made by individuals."

Such persons, as a rule, are odious, the attitude towards them is ambiguous: they are worshipped and hated, loved and despised, imitated and put in an anti-example.
