Alexander III
1845 CE–1894 CE · St. Petersburg
Alexander III (1845–1894) was Emperor of Russia from 1881, taking the throne after his father Alexander II was assassinated. In reaction to that killing he pursued a program of counter-reforms that rolled back liberal measures, strengthened autocracy, tightened censorship, and increased police powers. His reign also saw policies of Russification of minority peoples and periods of harsh conditions and pogroms affecting the empire's Jewish population. He kept Russia out of major wars, and his period of rule is often labeled one of political reaction and relative external peace; he died in 1894.
