Peter the Great improved Russia politics; he brought their political system out of the medieval times into a new era. He also socialized the backward Russian nobleman and westernized Russia. As once Pushkin said Peter made a window to Europe. He helped Russia to get out of the medieval time and made Russia to a developed organized new country. He westernized socially and politically. He was the right Tzar at the right time. He developed Russia that good, that it would become a major thread for the rest of Europe.
