Which Russian tsar moved Russia's capital to st .Petersburg? Select one answer: Peter the Great Catherine the Great Vladimir Lenin Yaroslav the Wise

The correct answer is Peter the Great. Peter the Great was the Russian tsar who moved the capital of Russia to St. Petersburg in 1703. He wanted to create a new capital that would be more accessible to the Baltic Sea and to Western Europe, and he also wanted to establish a new city that would symbolize the modernization and westernization of Russia. St. Petersburg was built on the swampy coast of the Baltic Sea and became the new capital of Russia, replacing Moscow.
