In my analysis, I have gained understanding of the political climate of Russia during Peters youth, his military reforms, and his education reforms. Some contemporaries believe that the reign of Peter the Great was one of the great turning points in Russian history, and indeed

Two Empires’ Development While people talk about the modern and contemporary history, there are two countries we always mention, they are Soviet and America.
