Abstract

This paper deals with the development of Russian historiography during the reign of Peter the Great. During the reign of this reformer ruler historiography was modernized in line with other general reforms. There was a significant increase in the number of documents that were created as a result of the establishment of new departments and sections in the state administration. These documents would become historical sources for writing contemporary history, which, among other things, had the task of glorifying the actions of rulers. Historiography was also modernized in terms of methodology because Western models of that time became generally accepted.
