NOTES
1). royalfam.ged http www.departments.bucknell.edu russian chrono2.html royalty.ged NAME Petr I The Great , Czar of Russia. BURI PLAC Peter And Paul Cathedral, St Petersburg, Russia MARR DATE 27 JAN 6 FEB 1689 DIV 70. Pyotr Peter I Alekseivich the Great 1682 1725 , Ivan V s half brother. Unlike every other Romanov to date, he was a strong willed and determined monarch. After the 1689 overthrow of Sophiya s regency, he wa really the sole ruler of Russia although Ivan V lived until 1696 . Pyotr had not originally been destined to be Tsar, and his education was thus far more liberal than that accorded the heir to the thone. Left primarily to his own devices on an estate outside Moskva while stil young, he became fascinated by military organization, tactics, and strategy. Among a growing circle of young associates he set up a miniature army, conducted maneuvers and mock battles, and generally laid the basis for a complete modernization of Rusia s armed forces. Pyotr was also obsessed with the notion of creating a navy for Russia. His studies and travel abroad convinced him of Russia s backwardness in these matters and her need for foreign military and naval technicians. A 1698 revolt of the Streltsy shooters , the Janissaries of Russia, gave Pyotr and opportunity to destroy this dangerous force and for taking all state power into his own hands, which he did. Pyotr, at first determined to drive the Ottoman power from the Black Sea Region, changed his mind after a short and successful war in which he obtained Azov and moved his armed forces into the north, where in 1700 he opened the 21 year Great Northern War with Sweden, in which he was eventually victorious, annexing an enormous stretch of the Baltic littoral. Pyotr s reign was an outward looking one. Foreign servitors flocked into the country and were highly honored. In 1703 Pyotr moved his capital into the very territory being disputed with Sweden, to the newly built city of St. Petersburg, his window on Europe . He also decreed that foreign trade woud thenceforward move through his new capital, rather than the les accessable port of Arkhangel sk, with the result that Rusia s trade had multiplied several times by his death. Aside from an enormous growth of foreign influence, Pyotr was responsible for great changes in Russia s internal administration. He made state service absolutely obligatory on the nobility during the earlier Romanov reigns, the service estates had become hereditary and much of the nobility was now escaping state service . Pyotr s administrative reforms touched everything taxation, local government, the cental government, the army, the church, everything. His primary aim was not reform, per se, but greater efficiency in the financing and maintenance of his military efforts. In that he was successful. His reforms, however, were haphazard, inconsistent, confuring, faulty in execution, and often in effective. Pyotr s reputation as a reformer rests more on his intent than his achievement, although after him, Russia was never quite the same. Pyotr left no male heir, and much of the progress Russia had made was frittered away by his uncertain and disputatious successors.
