The correct answer is the following.
<em>Peter the Great of Russia modernized some areas of Russian life. He reformed the Church, Education, and the Economy.</em>
One important institution that he reformed was the Church. Previously, Church had been autonomous. Peter reformed Church and was directly connected to him and the government of Russia. The Russian Church was wealthy and Peter wanted to control that wealth. Another reform was in Education. Peter wanted to better instruct his army through mathematics and science to learn how to shoot weaponry with better angles, design better strategies and have better navigation for his Naval. The third reformation was in Economy. He wanted to apply Western ideas to improve trade, agriculture, and industry. This way he could be in the position of taxing more and invest the money to strengthening its army.
