RUSSIAN CZAR PETER THE GREAT METAL FIGURINE. Hand painted. Height 4 1/5". Very good condition. Pyotr Alekseyevich; known as Peter the Great; (1672-1725) Czar of Russia (1682-1725). Son of Czar Alexis, he reigned jointly with his half brother Ivan V 1682-96, and alone from 1696. Interested in progressive influences from Western Europe, he visited several countries there (1697-98). After returning to Russia, he introduced Western technology, modernized the government and military system, and transferred the capital to the new city of St. Petersburg (1703). He further increased the power of the monarchy at the expense of the nobles and the Orthodox church. Some of his reforms were implemented brutally, with considerable loss of life. Suspecting that his son Alexis was conspiring against him,he had Alexis tortured to death in 1718. He pursued foreign policies to give Russia access to the Baltic and Black seas, engaging in war with the Ottoman empire (1695-96) and with Sweden in the Second Northern War (1700-21). His campaignagainst Persia (1722-23) secured for Russia the southern and western shores of the Caspian Sea. In 1721 he was proclaimed emperor; his wife succeeded him as the empress Catherine I. For raising Russia to a recognized place among the great European powers, Peter is widely considered one of the outstanding rulers and reformers in Russian history, but he has also been decried by nationalists for discarding much of what was unique in Russian culture, and his legacy has been seen as a model for Joseph Stalin's brutal transformation of Russian life.
