Peeter I
Peeter I, also known as Peter the Great, was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until his death in 1725. He is renowned for his extensive reforms that modernized Russia, transforming it into a major European power. Peeter I was particularly influenced by his travels in Western Europe, where he studied shipbuilding and military tactics, among other fields. His ambition to bring Western-style governance and culture to Russia led to significant changes in the military, the economy, and society. The Kadrioru Palace complex in Estonia, which he commissioned, reflects his vision for a more sophisticated architectural and cultural landscape.
