Evaluate and explain the actions taken by both Peter the Great and Catherine the Great to improve Russian society during their time as leaders? Most be two paragraphs

Peter the Great, ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 7 May, 1682 until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, Ivan V. Through a number of successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a much larger empire that became a major European power.

He led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the traditionalist and medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific, westernized, and based on The Enlightenment. Peter's reforms made a lasting impact on Russia and many institutions of Russian government trace their origins to his reign.
