Peter the Great was a Russian czar/tsar in the 1700's who's main achievement was to "westernize" Russia. Some achievements include... -Building a Navy - Creating the Table of Ranks, which allowed peasants to move up on the social chain. -Building a new capital (St. Petersburg) -Introducing art and philosophy into early Russia -WESTERNIZING RUSSIA
Some civic involvement of Peter the Great would have to be that he initiated the westernization of Russia

Peter the Great 'westernized' Russia by introducing European technical knowledge, fashion and ideas to Russia; Alexander II abolished serfdom in Russia, freeing some 15 million people from slavery.
In my opinion Peter the great was a better tsar than any other Tsar even though, catherine the great did some of contributions and lead russia to better place however, peter the great expanded west -europe dictate over 13-20 countries, and fought against sweeden for 20 years and got victory. Plus, he westernized Russia. He also was the one who lead everything and Catherine followed in his footsteps(technically).
There are a few great goals about Peter the Great. Some of the goal about him was he was the one who centralize royal power he also tried hard on pushing social and economic reforms.

He founded the Holy Synod, a governmental body from which the monarchy and the influential nobility could control the Church and the sphere of religion.
