“Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! You try to tell me apart from that one”, - some small, shrunken, and also puny Peter the Great pointed his finger somewhere and ram away in some idiotic way, as if he thought that I would run after him.

Where he pointed, there stood a different Peter the Great. Completely different, a giant. Almost real. Or maybe he really was? Anyway, a true giant, and even some right jacket, and the hat, and the moustache not even glued on.

Not far away, so that one doesn't have to look very closely, there is another Peter, who seems to be stuck between the first two, quite averaged. But staying there, posing so peacocky for pictures with passer-by!

There are plentier than plenty of such Peter the Greats wandering around St. Petersburg! It is believed that the original Peter the Great himself, in fact, in his time, simply let himself out of the cannon of the Peter and Paul Fortress, from this he broke into pieces: bigger and smaller. And then they began to transform into the shape of their master. But since the pieces were different, the Peters also turned out different. It is said there are at least a hundred of them wandering around the city. Also, that there are miniature Peters, almost invisible, who grew out of the smallest pieces.
