AUDIO A Foreig Pricess Takes the Throe For twety years, the Germa pricess Catherie lived at the Russia court, edurig a uhappy marriage to the Russia heir apparet, who was widely cosidered to be isae. She filled her time readig, studyig Frech philosophy, buildig alliaces behid the scees, ad bidig her time. Whe her husbad became emperor i 1762, she called o her allies to act. Withi a few moths he had bee deposed ad Catherie proclaimed empress of Russia. Like Peter the Great before her, Catherie would rule with itelligece, a firm had, ad a mid set o moderizatio. Focus Questio How did Peter the Great ad Catherie the Great stregthe Russia ad expad its territory? I the early 1600s, Russia was still a medieval state, utouched by the Reaissace or Reformatio ad largely isolated from Wester Europe. As you have read, the Time of Troubles had pluged the coutry ito a period of disorder ad foreig ivasios. The reig of the first Romaov tsar i 1613 restored a measure of order. Not util the ed of the cetury, however, did a tsar emerge who was strog eough to regai the absolute power of earlier tsars. Peter the Great, as he came to be called, used his power to put Russia o the road to becomig a great moder power. Peter the Great Moderizes Russia Peter, just 10 years old whe he took the throe i 1682, did ot take cotrol of the govermet util Although he was ot well educated, the youg tsar was immesely curious. He spet hours i the Germa quarter, the Moscow eighborhood where may Dutch, Scottish, Eglish, ad other foreig artisas ad soldiers lived. There, he heard of the ew techology that was helpig Wester Europea moarchs forge powerful empires. Jourey to the West I 1697, Peter set out to lear about Wester ways for himself. He spet hours walkig the streets of Europea cities, otig the maers ad homes of the people. He visited factories ad art galleries, leared aatomy from a doctor, ad eve had a detist teach him how to pull teeth. I Eglad, Peter was impressed by Parliamet. It is good, he said, to hear subjects speakig truthfully ad opely to their kig. 530 The Age of Absolutism

2 Peter brought to Russia a group of techical experts, teachers, ad soldiers he had recruited i Europe. He the embarked o a policy of westerizatio, that is, the adoptio of Wester ideas, techology, ad culture. But persuadig fellow Russias to chage their way of life proved difficult. To impose his will, Peter became the most autocratic of Europe s absolute moarchs, meaig that he ruled with ulimited authority. Cotrollig the Church ad the Nobles Peter pursued several related goals. He wated to stregthe the military, expad Russia borders, ad cetralize royal power. To achieve his eds, he brought all Russia istitutios uder his cotrol, icludig the Russia Orthodox Church. He also forced the haughty boyars, or ladowig obles, to serve the state i civilia or military positios. Some chages had a symbolic meaig. For example, after returig from the West, Peter stipulated that boyars shave their beards. He also forced them to replace their old-fashioed robes with Wester-style clothes. To ed the practice of secludig upper-class wome i separate quarters, he held grad parties at which wome ad me were expected to dace together. Russia obles opposed this radical mixig of the sexes i public, but they had to comply. Peter kew that obles would serve the state oly if their ow iterests were protected. Therefore, he passed laws esurig that obles retaied cotrol over their lads, icludig the serfs o those lads. I doig so, Peter stregtheed serfdom. Uder his rule serfdom spread i Russia, log after it had died out i Wester Europe. Further, he forced some serfs to become soldiers or to work as laborers o roads, caals, ad other govermet projects. Moderizig With Force Usig autocratic methods, Peter pushed through social ad ecoomic reforms. He imported Wester techology, improved educatio, simplified the Russia alphabet, ad set up academies for the study of mathematics, sciece, ad egieerig. To pay for his sweepig reforms, Peter adopted mercatilist policies, such as ecouragig exports. He improved waterways ad caals, developed miig ad textile maufacturig, ad backed ew tradig compaies. Peter had o mercy for ay who resisted the ew order. Whe elite palace guards revolted, he had over 1,000 of the rebels tortured ad executed. The, as a example of his power, he left their rottig corpses outside the palace walls for moths. What rewards ad puishmets did Peter use to solidify his cotrol over the obles? Peter Expads Russia s Borders From his earliest days as tsar, Peter worked to build Russia s military power. He created the largest stadig army i Europe, built a world-class avy from scratch, ad set out to exted Russia borders to the west ad south. Seekig a Warm-Water Port Russia seaports, located alog the Arctic Ocea, were froze over durig the witer. To icrease Russia s ability to trade with the West, Peter desperately wated a warm-water port oe that would be free of ice all year roud.

The earest warm-water coast was located alog the Black Sea. To gai cotrol of this territory, Peter had to push through the powerful Ottoma Empire. I the ed, Peter was uable to defeat the Ottomas ad gai his warm-water port, but the later Russia moarch Catherie the Great would achieve that goal before the cetury eded. The Great Norther War I 1700, Peter bega a log war agaist the kigdom of Swede, which at the time, domiated the Baltic regio. Early o, Russia suffered humiliatig defeats. A Swedish force of oly 8,000 me defeated a Russia army five times its size. Udauted, Peter rebuilt his army, modelig it after Europea armies. Fially, i 1709, he defeated the Swedes ad wo territory alog the Baltic Sea. Buildig St. Petersburg O this lad wo from Swede, Peter built a magificet ew capital city, St. Petersburg. Seekig to ope a widow o the West, he located the city o the Baltic coast alog the swampy shores of the Neva River. He forced tes of thousads of serfs to drai the swamps. May thousads died, but Peter s pla for the city succeeded. Aswers Map Skills 1. Review locatios with studets. 2. Those o the Baltic were froze for part of the year. 3. Russia s territory would be smaller, ad it would ot have expaded as much i coastal areas. Siberia Russia s absolute moarchs eeded a place to exile both crimials ad political oppoets for log periods of time. What place was better tha the arctic regio of Siberia? Siberia was far away from everythig Russia ad had a extremely ihospitable climate; temperatures could average 59 F ( 51 C) i witer. There was little chace of escape, as it was almost impossible to survive aloe i the vast, froze, sparsely populated regio. I fact, 10 to 15 percet of the exiles ever made it to Siberia; they died alog the way. The umber of exiles grew from a trickle i the early 1600s to 2,000 a year by the early 1800s. After a revolt i 1825, the tsar set 150,000 people off to their freezig fate. Today, the expressio set to Siberia still implies that a perso is beig puished or has become a outcast. 532 The Age of Absolutism

4 He the ivited Italia architects ad artisas to desig great palaces i Wester style. Peter eve plaed the city s parks ad boulevards himself. Just as Versailles became a moumet to Frech absolutism, St. Petersburg became a great symbol of Peter s effort to forge a moder Russia. Blazig Trails to the Pacific Russia traders ad raiders also crossed the plais ad rivers of Siberia, blazig trails to the Pacific. Uder Peter, Russia siged a treaty with Qig Chia that defied their commo border i the east. The treaty recogized Russia s right to lads orth of Machuria. I the early 1700s, Peter hired the Daish avigator Vitus Berig to explore what became kow as the Berig Strait betwee Siberia ad Alaska (see map o p. 532.). Russia pioeers crossed ito Alaska ad migrated as far south as Califoria. Few Russias moved east of the Ural Moutais at this time, but the expasio made Russia the largest coutry i the world. It still is today, early 300 years later. Peter the Great s Legacy Whe Peter died i 1725, he left a mixed legacy. He had expaded Russia territory, gaied ports o the Baltic Sea, ad created a mighty army. He had also eded Russia s log period of isolatio. From the 1700s o, Russia would be icreasigly ivolved i the affairs of Wester Europe. Yet may of Peter s ambitious reforms died with him. Nobles, for example, soo igored his policy of service to the state. Like earlier tsars, Peter the Great had used terror to eforce his absolute power. His policies cotributed to the growth of serfdom, which served oly to wide the gap betwee Russia ad the West that Peter had sought to arrow. What impact did Peter s defeat of Swede have o Russia s expasio? Catherie the Great Follows Peter s Lead Peter died without a heir ad without amig a successor. This set off a power struggle withi the Romaov family, from whom all the tsars had come sice the early 1600s. Uder a series of ieffective rulers, Russia obles reasserted their idepedece. The, a ew moarch took the reis of power firmly i had. She became kow to history as Catherie the Great. Rise to Power A Germa pricess by birth, Catherie came to Russia at the age of 15 to wed the heir to the Russia throe. She leared Russia, embraced the Russia Orthodox faith, ad wo the loyalty of the people. I 1762, a group of Russia army officers loyal to her deposed ad murdered her metally ustable husbad, Tsar Peter III. Whether or ot Catherie was ivolved i the assassiatio is ucertai. I ay case, with the support of the military, she asceded the Russia throe. A hudred years after Peter s reig, Russia s bestkow poet, Alexader Pushki, portrayed the tsar as a larger-tha-life ruler, determied to tame ature o matter what the cost. How does Pushki describe the tsar? Primary Source There, by the billows desolate, He stood with mighty thoughts elate,ad gazed; but i the distace olya sorry skiff o the broad spateof Neva drifted seaward, loely...ad thus He mused: From here, ideedshall we strike terror i the Swede;Ad here a city by our laborfouded shall gall our haughty eighbor....

She reorgaized the provicial govermet, codified laws, ad bega state-sposored educatio for both boys ad girls. Like Peter the Great, Catherie embraced Wester ideas ad worked to brig Russia fully ito Europea cultural ad political life. At court, she ecouraged Frech laguage ad customs, wrote histories ad plays, ad orgaized performaces. As you will read i the ext chapter, she was also a serious studet of the Frech thikers who led the itellectual movemet kow as the Elightemet. As a sixtee-year-old boy, Peter foud the hull of a old Europea sailig vessel i a storehouse. He restored the boat ad taught himself to sail it o the lakes ad rivers ear Moscow. The fid sparked a lifelog love for all thigs havig to do with sailig. As tsar, Peter traveled to Europe to lear everythig he could about shipbuildig. Armed with this kowledge, he created a Europea-style avy, thus turig Russia ito a leadig world power. I later years, Peter amed the boat he had restored the gradfather of the Russia avy. O his fifty-first birthday he sailed it ito St. Petersburg harbor to meet its gradchildre, Peter s avy. A woodcut datig from the 1800s shows Peter, disguised as a ship s carpeter, learig from Dutch shipbuilders i the late 1600s. Peter s ow carpetry tool ad drawig are show at bottom.

6 A Ruthless Absolute Moarch Catherie was also a absolute moarch, like other Europea rulers of the time, ad ofte she was amog the most ruthless. She grated a charter to the boyars outliig importat rights, such as exemptio from taxes. She also allowed them to icrease their straglehold o the peasats. Whe peasats rebelled agaist the harsh burdes of serfdom, Catherie took firm actio to repress them. As a result, coditios grew worse for Russia peasats. Uder Catherie, eve more peasats were forced ito serfdom. Like Peter the Great, Catherie was determied to expad Russia s borders. Wagig the Russo-Turkish war agaist the Ottoma Empire gaied her a warm-water port o the Black Sea i She also took steps to seize territory from eighborig Polad. The Partitios of Polad I the 1770s, Catherie, Kig Frederick II of Prussia, ad Emperor Joseph II of Austria hugrily eyed Polad. As you have read, the Polish-Lithuaia Commowealth had oce bee a great Europea power. However, its rulers were uable to cetralize their power or dimiish the ifluece of the Polish obility. The divided Polish govermet was ill-prepared to stad up to the icreasig might of its eighbors, Russia, Prussia, ad Austria. To avoid fightig oe aother, the three moarchs agreed i 1772 to partitio, or divide up, Polad. Catherie took part of easter Polad, where may Russias ad Ukraiias lived. Frederick ad Joseph took cotrol of Polish territory i the west. Polad was further partitioed i The i 1795, Austria, Prussia, ad Russia each took their fial slices ad the idepedet coutry of Polad vaished from the map. Not util 1919 would a free Polish state reappear. 5 How were Catherie s goals similar to those of Peter? Lookig Ahead By the mid-1700s, absolute moarchs ruled four of the five leadig coutries i Europe. Britai, with its strog Parliamet, was the oly exceptio. As these five atios competed with oe aother, they ofte eded up fightig to maitai a balace of power. At the same time, ew ideas were i the air. Radical chages would soo shatter the Frech moarchy, upset the balace of power, ad revolutioize Europea societies.
