Years: 1696 - 1707
Peter's reorganization of the government structure is no less thorough.
He replaces the prikazy with colleges or boards and creates a senate to coordinate government policy.
Peter's reform of local government is less successful, but his changes enable local governments to collect taxes and maintain order.
As part of the government reform, the Orthodox Church is partially incorporated into the country's administrative structure.
Peter abolishes the patriarchate and replaces it with a collective body, the Holy Synod, led by a lay government official.
