The goal of Peter the Great was to transform Russia into a more modern state. He wanted to bring Russia out of the dark age and into a more modern age.
peter the great gained the baltic sea
From 1700 to 1721 Peter the Great led Russia in a war against Sweden. From this war, Russia gained control over territory along the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. This land gave Russia a direct approach by water to the rest of Europe. On this captured land Peter had the city of St. Petersburg built in 1703. In 1722 and 1723 Peter attacked Persia and conquered territory along the Caspian Sea. These conquests helped Russia to expand its trade with other countries. I hope that this has been a help to you.

Tsar Peter the Great, founded May 1703
The main goal of Peter the Great war on Sweden was to gain an access to the Baltic Sea, in order to set free Russia from being exclusively a continental power.
Almost certainly it was Peter the Great; he was the first great westward-looking tsar, defeated the Swedes (a fairly major power at the time led by a military genius of sorts) on the shore of the Baltic and founded St. Petersburg as his European capital.
