One of her failures was allowing the boyars to increase their stranglehold on Russian peasants. She took firm action to repress the peasants when they revolted against the harsh conditions of serfdom. As a result, conditions grew worse for the peasants, and even more were forced into serfdom. The fact that she kept serfdom alive while it was dying out in other places put Russia at a disadvantage in world affairs.

He really wasnt. HE was harsh to his son and had a paranoia of being overthrown but he did so much for Russia. In his time Russia was kind of lost in technology and science, they stuck to tradition and were lost in the past. Peter launched his great embassy and started to change Russia for the better.

Apart from using paintings by old masters for target practice during his visit to England, not that many. He was ruthless in his efforts to drag Russia kicking and screaming out of the Middle Ages and introduce Western ways to its nobles, but if there was collateral damage in the process he would have used the quote about the omelets and the breaking of eggs. He had his eldest son tortured to death which could be called a mistake in the sense that when Peter himself died, he had no other son to succeed him. But he earned the sobriquet "the Great" by expanding Russian territory, beating the Swedes among others, building St Petersburg which was to become famous for its beauty and modernizing Russia. He himself died without regretting anything he could have considered a mistake in hindsight.
