Best Answer

Peter the Third was very childish and cruel. However, Catherine the Great was a wonderful ruler. She was very open to the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers. People like Voltaire helped her form how she ruled her kingdom. She wanted to allow everyone a chance. Sadly, she is most remembered for expanding Russia's territory.
