Stalin instituted the Five Year Plan, although it was not so much to "Westernize" the Soviet Union in the way Peter the Great did. Stalin's plan was instituted in order to build the Soviet Union's industrial force up to the standards of the western nations so that they could compete with the west. In addition, the plans called for changes in the country's agricultural methods. These plans were economic in nature, whereas Peter the Great's westernization was political and cultural as well as economic.
