As a friend of Voltaire and Diderot, he was a committed supporter of the reforms of the Enlightenment. He reshaped the country with his reform measures, while expanding the borders of the Russian Empire with his victorious wars. He fought the Ottoman Empire, Sweden and waged a religious war in Poland.
