Peter I started out with the modernization of the army and the partial reorganization of the state, but the ultimate outcome was far more extensive.

He built a navy, regained Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea, founded a new capital, and thoroughly reorganized the state. In this way, he made Russia into a major power in European politics.

In this lecture, Dr. Paul Bushkovitch, Professor of History at Yale University, talked about Peter the Great’s reign as a fundamental turning point in Russian history.
