Answer

ccording to Vasili Klyuchevsky, Peter the Great attempted to control the Russian people by implementing new recruiting methods for the military, which spread military obligations to classes previously exempt, thus affecting all social classes.One effect of Peter the Great's reform on the Russian nobles, according to Klyuchevsky, was a complete alteration of their position within the military.
