He was the catalyst to a lot of the reform because he had more liberal ideals like the first Alexander.He was the first monarch thinking of sharing power However, his ideals started causing the Russian economy to collapse and radical terrorist group caused his death.
- Alexander III, went against all the changes his late father made and totally disagreed with his ideas of sharing power. He reversed all the liberal work his father had done and raised another revolution which he quickly stopped.
