Explanation:

Both Russian rulers introduced their Homeland to Western ideas and customs. Peter the great was known for his policies of westernization, while Catherine the great adopted some of the ideas of the enlightenment and because of this, she is generally considered to be an example of an enlightened despot.

Peter the great helped to westernize Russia by creating new laws aimed at curtailing traditional customs, and by building the modern city of St petersburg, which he called his "window to the west". His successors, such as Catherine and great, continued this trend by adopting other Western ideas such as those from the enlightenment.
