Actually, there was 1 Tzar and 1 Tzarina who held the title of "The Great". Katherine The Great was a good ruler and loved sex with horses(true historical fact). Peter The Great expanded Russia's borders.

In fact, it was a woman who held this title, Czarine Catherine the Great who brought Russia from the Middle Ages to Modern civilization. She made many reforms and encouraged industrialization. She was also an eminent politician in the relations with the other European countries.

Generally this is used for Peter I – "Russia's Reforming Tsar: Peter the Great"
Example:
The Rise of St. Petersburg From the Swamps of the Neva
Failing to assemble an anti-Turkish coalition, Peter had to make peace with the Turks. He lost Azov and had to put aside temporarily his hopes for access to the Black Sea. After returning home from the Great Northern war, where he won a series of victories over the Swedish force, Peter started work on a fortress and port he named after his patron Saint, St. Petersburg. It was the unlikely place to build a city. Across the main branch of the river Neva, facing his fortress, he built his Admiralty. He had canals dug and he built his first house in St. Petersburg. It had only three small rooms, bedroom, dining room and study. It was of pine boards painted on the outside to look like a little Dutch house. In 1712 he ordered 1000 men of the lesser nobility to come with their families to St. Petersburg. They were to build houses there, and a similar order went to 500 merchants and shopkeepers. The Senate was still in Moscow, when Peter declared his new city on the river Neva the capital. All Senators were ordered to leave Moscow and reestablish themselves in St. Petersburg. Three years earlier Peter had smashed the Swedes in the battle of Poltova, and his goal was now to "make Russia part of Europe".
