One of the most famous reforms of Peter I was the creation of" collegiums", a new type of government bodies, which marked a radical restructuring of public administration in Russia. For the first time, the book publishes documents describing an alternative — and not implemented — model of this reform. A series of projects for the establishment of colleges and other administrative bodies, which were prepared on the basis of Western European experience by order of Peter I himself by one of his foreign advisers, Baron Anastasius Christian Luberas, reflects the multiplicity of possible trajectories of the reform and allows us to better understand the version of it that was eventually implemented by the monarch.
