Check out our online store! I am very passionate about Soviet history, particularly because of the Second World War (Great Patriotic War) and the Russian revolution, however I am also fascinated by Russian Imperial history too. This is because it shows the context as to how revolutionary thinking fermented across such a vast and diverse realm. It is for this reason that I have decided to do this video on my favorite Russian Emperor- Alexander II. He is historically remembered for emancipating the serfs and enacting crucial reforms to modernize the Russian Empire, especially with the aftermath of the disastrous Crimean War. However, many historians also stated that he was a highly conservative ruler who pretty much didn’t care too much about the reform. This is simply one of those cases where I disagree with the consensus, and I outline my thinking with this video, particularly regarding the ’Constitutional’ reforms he enacted in 1881. Additionally, I also delve into the history of his predecessors, Alexander I and Nicholas I, as well as his successor Alexander III, in order to formulate the narrative of 19th century Russia. I could obviously say so much more, but I will leave it at that so your brain can process the large amounts of historical information. I cover military reform (the universal military training act of 1874), the emancipation of serfs (1864), censorship, church reform, and educational statutes (1864) so be prepared to view a lot of old laws. I hope you all enjoy this and apologies If I have posted late. I was in the Basque country for a week so it significantly delayed my video production.
