Question

true or false:
2. Peter the Great put a heavy emphasis of Russian traditions and used them to glorify himself as Tsar.

Answer 1

False. Peter the Great is known for his efforts to Westernize and modernize Russia, rather than for emphasizing traditional Russian customs. He implemented numerous reforms to align Russia more closely with European powers, which included adopting Western styles of dress, government, and culture. While he did assert his authority as Tsar, his focus was primarily on modernization rather than glorifying Russian traditions.
