At that time, Russia was still very weak, until the appearance of a person changed Russia's fate and Russia began to rise. Portrait of Peter I Peter I is the son of Alexei I, the fourth czar of Romanov Dynasty in Russia (A.D. 1682- 1725), the first emperor of Russian Empire and one of only two emperors in Russian history (the other is Ekaterina II). 1682, Peter I and his half-brother Ivan V of Russia of Russia became czars. As they are still young, Ivan V of Russia Sophia, the sister of Soviet Russia, is the regent. Sophia firmly controls the power and has no intention of delegating power. Unlike Ivan V of Russia in Russia, Peter I was a competitive man at heart, so he secretly assembled his own army "Youth Army" and actively trained for a rainy day. 1689, Sophia instigated an army-shooting rebellion to get rid of Peter I, but fortunately it was put down by Peter I's "Youth Army". From then on, Peter I was in power. 1679, sent a large mission to western Europe to visit and exchange and learn advanced science and technology.

After returning home, Peter I was eager to put into practice what he had learned during his visit abroad. Economically, he actively set up factories, developed trade, dug canals, opened commercial ports and expanded exports, which laid the foundation of modern Russian industry. Politically, 1. Deprived of the function of the aristocratic Lord Duma, it was replaced by the Senate, and the 1 1 Committee (equivalent to the current Ministry) was responsible for the specific work. 2.
