Peter the Great wanted to westernize Russia. He was eager to borrow European technology, the kind that could give him the army and navy he needed to make Russia a great power. Peter wanted to reorganize the army. He employed both Russians and Europeans as officers, built a standing army of 210,000 men, and formed the first Russian navy. Peter divided Russia into provinces in order to impose the rule of the government more effectively. He wanted to create a "police state," by which he meant a well-ordered community governed by law. After his trip to the West, he introduced Western customs, practices, and manners into Russia; he even ordered the preparation of the first Russian book of etiquette to teach Russians. He changed traditional Russian

Peter changes a lot during the whole story. At the start of the book peter is a reckless boy that is always getting into trouble and never listens to the directions. Peter and his class are doing and plant project where they have to bring in ingredients for the plant to grow. Peter got something things that were rather different from everyone else.“I brought in cat litter (used), soda and a little bit of maple syrup.” (26) He brought this in even though Mr. Terupt told them not to bring in something that would stink up the classroom. Peter did not obey the rules Mr. Terupt had given them. Peter always

In the entire book, Peter is shown as a ruthless character who lacks compassion for all other

In the year 1700 Russia under Peter the Great formed a coalition with Poland, Saxony, and Denmark-Norway to counter the growing power of the Swedish Empire in the Baltic Sea, and won. How was it that these supposedly weak states brought down the most powerful empire of its time? At that point in history Sweden was widely regarded as having the greatest conventional army in Europe. None of the nations in the coalition were considered to be particularly powerful, and yet despite this the coalition destroyed the Swedish Empire, removing it from the struggles of the great powers to this day.

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.

How did the czar Peter the Great changed the perception of the what the western countries thought about Russia's Empire

In Russia, Peter the Great used many tactics in order to be successful. During the time of his reign the Russian military was greatly improved upon. One of the major things that Peter worked towards was building an army superior to others. “... He rivitalized Russia’s army… he founded the Russian navy, and he required his nobles to serve as officers and drafted peasants to serve as soldiers under strict discipline and training,” (Hayes 410).

At a reception thrown in Peter’s honor, Peter pulled out a barber’s razor surprising all of the people attending. This was unexpected because at that time, shaving was considered a great sin. One was supposed to remain just the way that god created them and not change anything. The people of the Eastern Orthodox church especially thought that Peter was sinning.

In Pixar’s feature film Toy Story 3, Lotso Bear represents pure evil. Although welcoming to Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear upon their arrival at Sunnyside Daycare, Lotso soon traps the unsuspecting new arrivals in the toddler section to secure his executive status in the pyramidal structure of the daycare. Originally enchanted with the idea of playing with children, Woody and Buzz are horrified to find themselves abused and crippled by energetic toddlers. In Lise Birk Pedersen’s documentary Putin’s Kiss, journalist Oleg Kashin describes Nashi — the controversial political youth organization most active in Russia from 2005 to 2012 — as another trap: “Nashi cripples young people’s morality. Many of those I know in these movements are already mentally crippled, and there is no way back for them” (Pedersen). Attributing his brutal beating in 2010 to Vasily Yakemenko, the founder of Nashi, Kashin views Nashi as an evil organization tasked with trapping Russian youth inside a malicious ideological framework with deceptive promises such as career opportunities and social mobility. However, in Youth Politics in Putin’s Russia: Producing Patriots and Entrepreneurs, Julie Hemment presents Nashi within a “broader political geography” and explores the nuance between how the state-run youth movement was intended and how it was received by participants

Uyezds divided by the State and they consisted of the cities and the surrounding area. This divided the population tremendously unevenly. The division of the population and cities were difficult to manage as many were far away in rural locations.

During Russia’s transition to communism in the early 20th century, conflict and unease permeated every part of life. Nothing was stable and very little of what the Bolsheviks had fought for had come to fruition by the time the USSR disbanded in 1991. The “classless society”, which was to work together for the prosperity of everyone, never became a reality. In the end, the majority of Russia’s 20th century was an utter failure on a grand scale. However, there were many amazing products of the system do to the great importance of education in Russian culture. Priceless novels were written, timeless movies were made, and great scientific endeavors were realized despite the rigid control placed upon Russian persons by the government. In
