Alexander II is remembered as the Tsar-Liberator for freeing the serfs, but his reign was a high-wire act between reform and repression. After the Emancipation Edict of 1861, he unleashed the Great Reforms: zemstvo local councils, judicial independence, military overhaul, and relaxed censorship. Yet the same reforms bred new radicals who demanded more. From the first 'shot' of Karakozov in 1866 to the People's Will's relentless bombing campaign, Alexander II survived multiple assassination attempts while his son, the future Alexander III, watched his grandfather die in the 1866 attempt. The police response — the Third Section under Count Shuvalov — failed to stop the revolutionary underground. By 1881, the People's Will had built a network of bomb-throwers, including Sofia Perovskaya, who orchestrated the final attack on the Catherine Canal. Thirteen years of reform ended with a tsar blown apart by a bomb — and his son rolling back nearly every change. This episode walks through the contradictions of the Tsar-Liberator: the man who freed millions, and the man who was hunted to death for it. #AlexanderII #TsarLiberator #GreatReforms #EmancipationEdict #PeopleWill #NarodnayaVolya #DmitryKarakozov #SofiaPerovskaya #AndreyZhelyabov #CountShuvalov #ThirdSection #CatherineCanal #PeterAndPaulFortress #RussianHistory #Romanovs #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
