Did ancient Romans grow beards in times of mourning?
Yes, according to Harper's Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiquities. Before 300 B.C., all Romans (who could grow them) had beards; it was after a barber came up from Sicily that they started to regularly shave. Short, ornamental beards became somewhat common, but unkempt beards became an indicator of "slovenliness and squalor." Exceptions were made, though, for men in mourning. Notably, Augustus grew a beard when mourning the death of Julius Caesar.

Why did Peter the Great encouraged the Russian men to shave their beards?
Tsar Peter I (or Peter the Great) wanted Russian men to look more like others in western society. At that time, in the 17th-18th century, men in Western Europe and the Americas were removing their beards and mustaches and opting for a different style of dress. First the tsar insisted that men wear European dress at court events; then, he began to order court subjects and townspeople to dress in European style. Within a few years he imposed a tax on beards. Clergymen were exempt from the tax, but everyone else had to pay for the right to wear beards.
