Peter. He basically made Russia happen, and he kicked Charles XII's ass.

Holy shit he made the Russian Emperor (of all people) pull a healthy tooth out of his wife with no anesthesia because they had an argument?!
This is some next level trolling.
Catherine.
She was actually grooming her next heir, her grandson, properly. Not her fault that Alexander didn't want the throne and gave it it to his dad.
Peter killed his first heir over a retarded unsubstantiated rumor, and proceeded to neglect the presumptive heir to be. Then his whore of a wife took the throne, followed by said neglected grandkid, followed by his violent, useless niece.
He should just made Elizabeth the heir, Russia would be ruling Europe at this point had she been named Czar from the get go.
if Elizabeth of Russia had lived a few years more, Prussia would have been annexed by Russia and all the German evils of the XIX and XXth century would have never happened.
Russia had many competent female rulers.

Absolute madman
The tsar enjoyed himself nonetheless

This.
Catherine's generals won numerous battles where they were heavily outnumbered.
Catherine was superior to Peter, deal with it chucklefucks.
Peter modernized Russia's military and made a formidable force that gained it the respect and admiration of the rest of Europe.
Catherine made sure that things stayed that way, and worked on modernizing and bettering the civil side of the state, building hospitals, museums and patronizing great artists.
They were both 10/10 rulers.
>>1801101
They are both really good rulers.
>>1801881
Be gone meme

Peter is not just a competent ruler, he's also to be admired in all the effort he put into learning and bettering both himself, and his country.
Tho he did play war as a kid, with gunpowder. Which is pretty metal.
His church reforms are based and hilarious, tho they may invite fedora tipping atheists.
His death is pretty based, as he got sick by rescuing people from drowning.
Overall Peter is completely based.
Potemkin's villages are shit.
