Catherine the Great was the ruler of Russia.
Yes, in the sense that he was not democratically elected and ruled Russia as its sole leader with absolute power.
Peter the Great of Russia is considered an absolute ruler because he centralized power and authority in his hands, significantly diminishing the influence of the nobility and the church. He implemented sweeping reforms to modernize the military, government, and society, often using autocratic methods to achieve his goals. Peter's control over state affairs, including the establishment of a formidable navy and the introduction of Western customs, exemplified his belief in the divine right of kings and his vision for a powerful, modern Russia. His reign marked a significant shift towards a more centralized and authoritarian governance structure.
