Answer:

improved the conditions of the people

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1697, however, Peter the Great, another Romanov, came into power. He was known to wear work clothes to learn shipbuilding and other trades in the shipyards of Holland. Peter the Great worked hard to improve conditions in Russia. Before he died, his backward country had roads, canals, factories, and schools. He had the capital moved to a city that he built on the shores of the Gulf of Finland and christened St. Petersburg. Later its name was changed to Petrograd and later still to Leningrad. The citizens eventually voted to return to the original name of St. Petersburg.
