Peter the Great introduced potatoes to Russia in the late 17th century as part of his broader campaign to modernize the country and improve its agricultural output. He recognized the potato's potential as a nutritious crop and ordered it to be planted in various regions. To encourage its acceptance, he famously promoted it by ordering peasants to grow it and even used Propaganda, such as the decree that potatoes should be planted in gardens, emphasizing its value as a food source. Over time, potatoes became a staple in the Russian diet, despite initial resistance from the populace.
