No. But I don't think that they are completely impossible. Tsar travelled in Europe for two years. He was with escort of course, but in these times without proper communication, some things could happen (especially when escorting nobles also often were Germans or English).
>and dislike him?
No. I don't have emotional opinion about him. There are plenty of ways how Russian history may go without him, be it westernization later or fully indigenous development. It would be fun to see second thing, but it often ends bad.
>Well serfs going to die in one way or another, atleast they make good use. I wish we still could do it nowadays too many cattle like humans wasted for nothing.
Well, serfdom isn't fun at all, but it isn't slavery. There were periods in Russian history when serfs lived considerably well and didn't suffer so much. Did SPb worth it? Probably, at least in 18-19th century, when positioning of city did matter.
