Peter the Great ruled the Russian empire 1682-1725 and was known as Russia's great modernizer. The Boyars were noblemen, members of the elite; wealthy land owners with civil and military power. They were known for their long beards which they wore proudly and with distinction. Peter stripped the Boyars of their nobility and power. He also stripped them of their traditional beards and long sleeves by ordering that they either shave them off, or else, pay a hefty beard tax. Under Tsar Peter's reign, no longer were the Boyars allowed to work for personal interest; the advancement of Russia now became the top priority.
