Who was Tsar Alexander I?
He ruled as Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 15 September 1801 until his death from typhus on 1 December 1825. Alexander was the eldest of four brothers. He succeeded to the throne after his father was murdered, and ruled Russia during the chaotic period of the Napoleanic Wars. In the first half of his reign Alexander tried to introduce liberal reforms, while in the second half he turned to a much more arbitrary manner of conduct, which led to the revoking of many early reforms.

The strange contradictions of his character made Alexander one of the most interesting Tsars. Adding to this, his death was shrouded in mystery, and the location of his body remains unknown.

What were Alexander III reign known as?
Alexander's reign was known for its repressive reforms and attempt to reassert autocratic rule. Second son of Alexaner II, Alexander III was educated for a Grand Prince according to the standards at the time, alas, after his older brother Nicholas' death, Alexander received education in law and politics also. His tutor was Konstantin Pobedonostsev - procurator of the Holy Synod and a conservative statesman, whose influence was immence. Pobedonostsev also tutored Alexander's son - the future tsar Nicholas II. The most important of Alexander's reforms were known for their repressive measures and countering the reforms of Alexander II. Having disagreed with his father's liberating policies in private, witnessing the death of Alexander II's death only confirmed the belief of Alexander III in that opposition had to be squashed, and autocracy reaffirmed. He could not reverse the abolition of serfdom, but reduced the power of zemstvos - the village councils, which provided administrative reforms and services, such as the building and maintenance of roads, bridges, sanitation and poor relief. They were put under the supervision of Land Captains - gentry appointed by the Tsar. Alexander III was also a firm believer in national identity and sought to unite the empire by "Russifying" it - regardless of the fact that the State population made for less than a half of indigenous Russians, he ordered that the Russian language is spoken throughout the Empire. He was also known for anti-semitism and oppression of the Jews. Other non-Russian minorities in the Empire were also persecuted. Under his rule, the Secret Police were actively hunting down revolutionaries and there were many executions and exiles in Siberia. Press censorship was tightened, and the universities - stripped of their autonomy to employ lecturers. The reign of Alexander III was also known for the advancement of industrialisation, and he authorised the building of the Trans-Siberain Railway, which was an important link to the advancement of the country's infrastructure and economy. Alexander appointed Count Sergei Witte as Minister of Finance. Alexander III sought peace in foreign relations, and during his reign Russia stayed out of major international conflicts. Alas, the Tsar firmly believed the best way to avoid a war conflict, was to have a strong army; and Russia's military was better educated and in a state of being ready for conflicts. Alexander's reign was not as impressive in terms of political and social reforms as Alexander II's rule was - it was widely known as reversing the reforms of his father and its repressive measures. Despite there having been no major social unrests, excessive taxing, massive population growth and no corresponding food resources were seen as part of the reasons leading to the 1905 revolution.
