Corruption was widespread and too much of the national revenue was spent on military glory and too little on justice and administration. In domestic policy, major changes in the status of the serfs were postponed in the interests of internal order. Yet, Catherine brought Russia closer to the rest of Western Europe than it would be for more than a century: despotism was turned into monarchy, and obedience was one through honor not through fear.
