Peter the Great ruled Russia with despotic power during the 17th and 18th centuries, known for his westernizing reforms that transformed the nation. In a remarkable display of accountability, he submitted the reasons for condemning his own son to the judgment of Russia, Europe, and posterity. His reign marked a pivotal moment in Russian history, bridging medieval and modern worlds.
