  Lefortovo Park - Moscow
Sadly, however, the park has been much neglected, the grandest of its palaces is closed to the public, and current restoration efforts are bogged down in controversy.
The Franz Lefort who gave his name to the park, the prison and the surrounding area, was a Geneva-born soldier, adventurer and bon viveur, who became a general in Peter's army, an admiral in his navy, and one of the young Tsar's closest companions.
Lefort's house in the German Suburb was the site of considerable debauchery involving Peter and his coterie, and in 1697 the Tsar decided to build a palace for his favorite.

Peter, wearing German uniform, marched in the parade behind the official heroes Admiral Lefort and General Shein, while the religious authority was parodied by `prince-pope' Nikita Zotov in a carriage.

 Leibniz & Russland
Es gelang ihm lediglich, mit dem Neffen des russischen Gesandten Franz Lefort, dem jungen Peter Lefort, Bekanntschaft zu machen, der mit der Gesandtschaft reiste.[5] Von ihm suchte er Nachrichten über Rußland zu erhalten, ihn bat er um Sprachproben der verschiedenen Völker des Russischen Reiches.
Offensichtlich wurden auch mögliche Verbessserungen der Verkehrsverbindungen in Rußland erörtert: In Leibniz` Unterlagen fand sich später die Skizze für das Projekt eines Wolga-Don-Kanals, die der Gesandte Golovin während der „Großen Gesandtschaft“ zu Papier gebracht hatte.
Die unmittelbaren Ergebnisse von Leibniz` Verbindung zum jungen Lefort blieben gering: Übersetzungen des Vaterunsers, die er für sämtliche Sprachen des Russischen Reiches erbeten hatte, waren bei der Weite des russischen Raumes nicht zu beschaffen; zahlreichen nichtchristlichen Völkern Rußlands war das Gebet zudem unbekannt.

Mall behandelte Toleranz und Intoleranz aus interreligiöser Perspektive, wobei es ihm darauf ankam, das prekäre gegenseitige Verhältnis von Absolutheitsansprüchen in Religionen zu analysieren; dabei wurde gezeigt, daß westliche Theorien dazu neigen, von einem "monotheistischen" Religionsverständnis auszugehen, das sich in grundlegenden Fragen von demjenigen anderer Religionen unterscheidet.
Über Dolto und Lefort hinausgehend, wird als entscheidende Determinante dieses Prozesses die familiäre Vorgeschichte untersucht und konkret das, was der Autor "Familienmythos" nennt."
