The correct answer is C: Reorganization of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Peter the Great was determined to reform the domestic structure of Russia.
While his military reforms were ongoing, he reformed the church, education and areas of Russia's economy.
One of the bastions to change from Peter's point of view was the Church. In bygone years it had been semi-autonomous. For someone who believed in royal absolutism this was unacceptable. The subordination of the church within Russia was completed without a problem.
Here are some reasons to explain Peter's interest in the church:
- It was a very rich institution and Peter wanted its wealth
- It refused to be modernised.
- It owned vast amounts of lands and serfs and could be seen to be a rival to the tsar.
