Peter first - one of the most odious figures in Russian history.Having ascended to the throne at a young age, he is the most rigid changed the whole further course of the historical significance of the Russian state.Some historians call it the "great reformer", the other - a revolutionary.
Tsar Peter the 1st, who later became Emperor - is undoubtedly a talented and outstanding people.He was a typical choleric, short-tempered and rude, completely subjugate power.All conversions Peter 1st were forcibly and brutally implanted throughout the Russian State, most of them have not been brought to an end.
reforms, or so-called transformation of Peter 1st, include an impressive list, is:
- military;
- economic;
- church;
- political;
- administration;
- cultural;
- social.
for their implementation Russian empire rested on the altar of one third of its population.But let us not so categorical, try to look deeper.
Transformations Peter 1st military reform lies in the fact that he managed to create an efficient, well-equipped army, able to successfully deal with both the external and internal enemies.He is also the initiator of the creation of the Russian fleet, though historians state the fact that most of the ships safely rotted in the shipyards, and the gun does not always hit the target.
economic transformation of Peter 1st
For conducting Northern war required huge amounts of money and manpower, so began intensively built factory, steel and copper smelters, the enterprise domain.Also began rampant deforestation and mining.Conversion of Peter 1st, which greatly affected the Russian economy, it is primarily the development of the Urals, as it allowed to be less dependent on foreign imports.Such serious economic changes, of course, have given the country a boost in industrial production, but due to the use of forced and slave labor, these businesses have been unproductive.The economic reforms of Peter the 1st made poor people poor and actually turned them into slaves.
public administration reform
in this process is marked complete subordination of sovereignty, which occurred after the reorganization of the administrative apparatus.
very painful hit the transformation of Peter the 1st to the Russian Orthodox Church.Thanks to its reform efforts, she was forced to go completely under the control of the state, which led to church split.He abolished the patriarchate and replaced it by the Holy Synod, which lasted until 1917
cultural reforms of Peter the 1st manifested themselves in urban planning and architecture and fully borrowed from the western specimens.During the construction of St. Petersburg was attended only by foreign architects, whose style of "a la Russe" was a savage and do not deserve attention.At the same time, we must pay tribute to Peter for his discovery of navigatskoy, engineering and medical schools in which children of noble families received a decent education.In 1719 it opened its doors Curiosities.Until that moment, people do not know Russian museums.Cultural transformation of Peter the 1st contributed to the development of more powerful typography.However, translations of Western publications left much to be desired.
This ruler Russia has moved to a new chronology of the Nativity.Up to this point, our ancestors led him from the creation of the world.Of great importance was the introduction of the civil alphabet and creation of libraries.In general, this period can be characterized by the time incredible progress.
