Peter the Great, but while he started the movement, it was really Catherine the Great who really cemented Russia's position as a world power. She effectively brought the age of enlightenment to Russia, whereas Peter brought mostly social and political change to Russia.

Czar Peter the Great
Russia was so behind the western world,
he traveled abroad, and brought the world
to Russia -- that is, the men with the expertise.
He was obsessed with Russia having a Navy,
and he accomplished that as well.

Peter the Great was the first who tried, but in a large measure, he failed. Catherine the Great was the first who succeeded.
