d.) russification
Alexander III's program of Russification aimed to consolidate the Russian Empire by promoting Russian culture and language while suppressing minority languages and cultures within the empire. This policy included enforcing the use of Russian in schools, government, and the military, as well as encouraging Russian settlement in non-Russian territories. It also involved a crackdown on local customs and practices, leading to increased tensions and resistance among ethnic groups. Ultimately, Russification sought to strengthen national unity but often resulted in social unrest and ethnic strife.

Alexander II, son of Alexander III, is best known for implementing significant reforms, including the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. Nicholas I is recognized for his strong autocratic rule and for decisively putting down the Decembrist Revolt in 1825. Nicholas II began a program of Russification aimed at consolidating the empire by promoting Russian culture and suppressing minority languages and customs. A statement corresponding to the fourth czar is not provided, so I cannot match it.
Russification pressured all ethnic groups to unite as Russians, but self-determination gave different ethnic groups the right to govern themselves.
Russification is a adoption of the Russian language or some other Russian attribute.
Both Russification and Nationalism are a love for one's country but Russification forced people who were non-russian to adopt the russian languge, religion and culture where as nationalism is not enforced.

Russification has been a Russian policy of attempting to integrate and assimilate non-Slavic communities during Imperial, Soviet, and modern times. Russification involves creating it as an official language, secularization, and changing names to Slavic patronymic and family name ending conventions. Opposing factors to Russification continue in the form of it being seen as attempts to eradicate national, tribal and religious identity. Russification forms a core to the conflict of claims to Caucuses, and to the higher issue of Islam in Russia.
