Hello,
According to Biography.com- Peter the Great was a Russian czar in the late 17th century who is best known for his extensive reforms in an attempt to establish Russia as a great nation.
Having ruled jointly with his brother Ivan V from 1682, when Ivan died in 1696, Peter was officially declared Sovereign of all Russia.
Peter was a far-sighted and skillful diplomat who abolished Russia's archaic form of government and appointed a viable Senate, which regulated all branches of administration, as well as making, groundbreaking accomplishments in Russia's foreign policy.
Although he proved to be an effective leader, Peter was also known to be cruel and tyrannical. The high taxes that often accompanied his various reforms led to revolts among citizens, which were immediately suppressed by the imposing ruler.
He created a strong navy, reorganized his army according to Western standards, secularized schools, administered greater control over the reactionary Orthodox Church, and introduced new administrative and territorial divisions of the country.
Hope all of this helps

The taxes which hit the poor hardest are those of local and state governments.
Federal government taxes are progressive, which means that people are taxed based on their income - this means that rich people have to pay higher taxes than poor people. On the other hand, local and state taxes are regressive, meaning the taxes are based according to the service bought - it's the same for the rich and the poor, but given that poor people earn much less money than the rich, they will be affected more direly.
