How Did Peter The Great Influence Russia's Government

Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions of Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanovis was that he was the first to implement reforms in Russia. Before he became Tsar of Russia most of the world view the country as a backwards nation hopelessly stuck in the past. By the end of his reign he would be credited with incorporating westernization and modernization in Russia that brought it on par to the rest of Europe.

During Peter the Great’s reign, Russia flourished. Peter accomplished many goals, making Russia one of the most powerful countries at the time. Peter the Great was a czar of Russia who ruled from 1682-1725. Before peter’s reign, Russia did not possess a stable economy as well as military. Russia was in a disorganized state.

Peter the Great ruled over Russia from the late 1600’s to the mid 1700’s. He influenced Russia in many ways and shaped It in to a westernized country. Russia became westernized when Peter the Great began to fear the Ottomans, because they were great fighters and they continuously ransacked Russia. Peter decided to travel to Western Europe in disguised in search for allies to help his country. His trips to the west led to extensive changes in Russia; he became intrigued with western Europe and constructed Russia to have similar customs.

Peter the Great was an absolute leader, he was the sole leader of the Russian empire, and his word was his law, and believed himself to be divine. He believed in absolute principles in political, philosophical, ethical or theological matters. Peter the Great was an absolute ruler of all Russia from 1682-1725. Peter the Great prolonged a standing army, which displays an absolute ruler. Peter the Great is considered one of the most effective transformational leaders in Russian history. He also created a brutal foreign policy centralizing in the government. However, the reform of expansion of Russia was what Peter was primarily known for. Peters military reforms profoundly modernized Russia’s Army and Navy.

Peter the Great’s reforms had a profound impact on Russia, it introduced an era of change that he became known for. From Peter’s childhood he became known for his infatuation with ideas about the military and navy, enjoying pastimes like shipbuilding and sailing, as well as mock battles with toy armies. This strong influence left a lasting impression throughout Peter’s life, exemplified through his reforms and relations with Europe. This impacted Russia as Peter’s keen interest in Europe was a key inspiration for his reforms as his desire for knowledge and advancement was reflected in his personality and his rule. Peter’s interest in Europe also impacted Russia as it corresponded with a growing westernisation of typical Russian values and

Ivan IV, also known as “Ivan the Terrible,” lived from 1530 to 1584 and was the first Tsar of Russia. He officially reigned from the age of three; however, he did not have any real power until he crowned himself “Tsar” of Russia in 1547. He went on to conquer vast amounts of neighboring territories, eventually controlling the largest empire in the world at the time. In addition to increasing the Russian Tsardom’s size, he also completely restructured the political system. He took away all power from the noble boyar elite, and became an absolute monarch. This was good because the boyars at the time had been corrupt, and more interested in their personal interests than the interests of the state (Ivan the Terrible).

Much like Tiberius, Peter the Great had an overall auspicious impact on Russia with St. Petersburg. During the late seventeenth century, he was a Russian czar both narcissistic and thirsty for power. Mostly because of his reforms, Peter is known to have a positive effect on Russia, though it is debatable. Throughout his reign and life, Peter continued struggling just to maintain power in Europe. His reign marks a dramatic shift in the development and goal of Russia.

It is said that Peter the Great’s significance on Russian history is difficult to overestimate – Peter implemented a series of reforms towards the Russia society, in fields of government, religion, military, and most of them have consistent effects. However, the new order of precedence known as “Table of Rank”, which was created by Peter in 1722, has an inconsistent impact on the society and government throughout the history. Although Peter had a great vision for the table of rank, it ultimately produced more negative impact towards the society as a whole than positive influences.

the people’” but many others disagreed . They felt that he was manipulating the family. This only added to the discontent and secrecy surrounding the family. Many people did not like how isolated the family was, not only from everyday Russians, but also the aristocracy.

There is at least four different types of meanings in this story. One is the ranch, the meaning I got from the book about the ranch is that it is a lot like society.

Nicholas II was known, not only for being the Emperor of Russia but also for his character and personality which undoubtably led him to his own downfall. Nicholas was often referred to as not being ready to become Tsar as well as being a weak leader. Firstly, Nicholas II himself, amongst a very large proportion of Russian society, believed that he was not prepared to be coronated Emperor. Nicholas himself stated “What is going to happen to me and all of Russia? I am not prepared to be a Tsar. I never wanted to become one. I know nothing of the business of ruling.”. (Russian Revolution Quotations 2015). Nicholas was aware of what he was getting himself into and that he was not prepared for such a role. This is further corroborated by the
