Early in the 18th century Czar Peter of Russia became the first non-Western sovereign to initiate a program of modernization. The ambivalence of Russians towards the West attracted them to Marxism – an ideology which both eulogized and criticized industrial progress of Europe. Lenin and Stalin used state power to modernize and industrialize USSR. Failure to reform after the catch up phase led to decline and ultimate disintegration. Russia today is only one quarter as wealthy as the OECD countries. Three centuries after Peter, Russia has still not reached the end of its quest to catch up with the West.
