This entry in the Encyclopedia Russia briefly talks about one of the Russian leaders in the late 17th century, Alexei Petrovich. Petrovich's story is a great example of how highly educated Russia's elite was. Although this particular account is very brief, the Encyclopedia Russia has a great number of descriptions of russian leaders from the 1350s-1750s. This leads me to believe that there's more information in the encyclopedia that could give me an idea of how Russia maintained power at the time. I believe that this source was particularly reliable due to the fact it's being published in a well-known and popular database.

Hughes, Lindsey. "Art-Russia." Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History. Ed. William H. McNeill et al. 2nd ed. 2010. N. pag. Print. This article on Russian art is extensive beyond what is needed. There are many examples of how rulers influenced what art was shown in Russia. One that stood out to me was "After Peter's death his daughter Catherine thwarted the planned bronzing and prominent placement of the statue in front of the palace because of its Baroque qualities..." which is pretty extreme. There is also a bit on artists in Russia during the Eighteenth-Century Cultural Revolution. Simply stating that many of the artists whom were a part of it were not even from Russia. For example, the artist Louis Caravaque was french and tfried Tannhauer was german,

This work does not focus on any particular era, nor a place, so the majority of the book is not pertinent to my topic, but there are still a few other articles that talk about the rise of Russia. The article I read focusses on the efforts of Peter I to improve Russia, the voice of the piece is almost fond of Peter, and doesn't touch on many of failures as a Czar. It goes into depth on his efforts with war, and education, painting him as a leader who had his people's benefit in mind. The source itself seems fairly reliable as it lists many people who wrote and edited the encyclopedia, as well it was published by the Berkshire Company.
