Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the study is to answer the question about the ideological positioning of Peter I in the context of various discursive models. The author reconstructs the value orientations and views of the emperor from the standpoint of various methodological approaches.
Methodology. The study used methodological techniques of discursive analysis, content analysis and historiographic modeling. When identifying the image of Peter I in the historical consciousness of the Russian population, the method of a sociological survey was used.
Results. The result of the study was identification of the main models of the ideological positioning of Peter I in the context of historiographic and socio-political discourse. It is concluded that there is a public demand for the development of a new integrated model for presenting the ideological portrait of Peter I based on a civilizational approach and a patriotic narrative of representing the history of Russia.
Research implications. The presented study creates the basis for the formation of a new methodological model for understanding the figure of Peter I in the context of the ideological currents of time.
