Peter the Great

1672-1725

Peter the Great was a far-sighted and skilful diplomat and a talented military leader. His sheer physical presence suggested his power. He was nearly seven feet tall and very broad. His self-given title was Peter the Great though he was officially Peter I. Under Peter’s rule, Russia became a great nation. By the time he died in 1725, Russia was considered a leading Eastern European state. Peter the Great reigned as Emperor of all Russia from 1721-1725. In 1721, he proclaimed Russia an Empire. He centralized government, created an army and navy, subjugated the Church to the state, introduced new territorial divisions of the country and nurtured the advancement of science. Peter the Great married twice and fathered 11 children. He is buried in the Cathedral of the St Peter and St Paul Fortress in St Petersburg.
