Peter the Great was a czar in Russia that did some extensive reforms in an attempt to make Russia great. He started a lot of wars but it was to expand his Tsardom and it worked. It became a major European power. He also led a cultural revolution that replaced the more traditional and medieval social and political systems into a modern one with modern science and based on the enlightenment. He founded and developed the city of St. Petersburg which was the capital of Russia until 1917.
Peter reorganized the Russian army and dreamed of making Russia a maritime power. He faced a lot of opposition to these policies at home and he brutally suppressed rebellions against his authority, including by the Streltsy, Bashkirs, Astrakhan, and the greatest civil uprising of his reign, the Bulavin Rebellion.
None are "better" it depends on the country
one can work for another country, but not for this country, each has its good things and bad things
for example: communism vs democracy
the government controls everything in communism, giving the citizens no chance to voice their own opinions, however, that means everybody is "equal" in a sense
in democracy, there are poor people, and rich people, the poor people want more money, the rich want to keep their titles of "rich", which may spark hatred and other things.
These are two examples. Again, none of them are better than another, it really depends on the people.
hope this helps
They came from ancient times
