The main reforms of Peter the Great.

All of Peter’s reforms can be roughly divided into two periods: from 1696 – 1715 to 1715 – 1725. The first stage was carried out in a hurry and was not always consistent, which was due to the conduct of the Northern War. First of all, all the transformations were aimed at collecting resources. The second period is characterized as more planned and thoughtful. Some of the historians pointed out that the reforms were just a continuation of the changes that took place in the 17th century. By other historians, this period is assessed as revolutionary.
