Alexander II (1818-1881)
Alexander II (r. 1855-1881) is fondly remembered by Russians as the "Tsar Liberator," whose most important achievement was to free his empire's serfs. Upon inheriting the throne from his stern father, Nicholas I, as Russia's autocratic edifice was severely shaken by defeat in the Crimean War, Alexander sought to revitalize his realm through his "Great Reforms." Ironically, on March 13, 1881, he was assassinated by terrorists on the very day he authorized a decree that would have put Russia on the path toward representative government.
