Description
Peter the Great.
Bronze bust of The Tsar Peter the Great (Russian: Пётр Вели́кий), Peter I (Russian: Пётр I) or Peter Alexeyevich (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич).1672 – 1725.
Peter the Great ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 1682 until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, Ivan V.
Through a number of successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a much larger empire that became a major European power. He led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the traditionalist and medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific, westernized, and based on The Enlightenment. Peter's reforms made a lasting impact on Russia and many institutions of Russian government trace their origins to his reign.
