Answer: He introduced the tumbleweed to Russia from Spain

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter the Great embarked on a Grand Embassy between the years 1697 and 1698 in a bid to strengthen the Holy League as well as to acquire weapons and expert soldiers for his army.

He went to a number of countries including the Dutch Republic, Prussia and England. In both the Dutch Republic and England, he learnt shipbuilding as they were the foremost naval powers of the time.

Upon his return to Russia, he implemented western style in forcing his nobles to shave their beards. Eventually he started a beard tax where nobles and common people would have to pay money to keep a beard.

He did not introduced tumbleweed to Russia from Spain. Tumbleweed which is also known as Russian Thistle, is indigenous to Russia.
