b = a serf c = catherine the greatWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Boyars did not like Peter because he made them change to conform to Western European styles of dress and appearance (shaving the beards)!. He was a strong Czar, and the nobles are never happy about that - - it diminishes their power and influence!. The serfs probably felt Peter was a hard taskmaster!. He had them doing heavy labor building huge projects including a Russian navy from scratch and the city of St!. Petersburg from nothing!. Catherine was German - - unrelated to Peter, but she would have appreciated Peter's absolute authority!. She was herself a self made absolute ruler - perhaps a bit more "enlightened" than even the progressive minded Peter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The serf was a servant, and i think he probably took advantage of them!. Cather ine the great i think was his sisternot sure!. And boyar not sure but it sounds like someone else he would ppush around!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
