On June 30, 1705, emerging from a nocturnal orgy at dawn, he visited the monastery of the Ruthenian Basilian Fathers in Polotsk, planted himself in front of the statue of the blessed Jehoshaphat, who was represented with an ax driven into his skull, and demanded in a thick voice: "Who put this holy man in such a sad state?" "It was the schismatics," replied Father Kozikovsky, the superior of the order. On hearing the word "schismatics" applied to Orthodox soldiers by a servant of the Pope, the Czar flew into a rage. He ran his sword through Father Kozikovsky and killed him; officers of his suite struck down three other monks, mortally wounding two of them, and slashed the breasts of some pious women who protested the carnage. The same evening Alexis Makarov, the Czar's secretary, wrote in His Majesty's Journal : "Entered the Uniat church of Polotsk and killed five Uniats for having called our generals heretics." The affair made a scandal that reached as far as Rome. But Peter was perfectly indifferent to the fact that far away a few Catholic priests were getting all worked up over nothing.
