Who was the czar who freed the serfs?

Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs. He didn't free them entirely though. Serfs were bound to the land they worked on rather to the owners of the land. Alexander II had the Russian government buy some land from the owners and gave the land to the "freed" serfs in collective in each village. The serf remained bond to the land until he repaid the government the money it had paid to the owners over a 49 year period of time. A serf could leave the land but would have no land to work.


Russian czar who freed the serfs?

Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs in 1861, but the serfs were still bound to the land for another 49 years. The Russian government took land from the landowners and paid them for it. This land was put into collectives and each serf had to make enough money over the next 49 years to repay the government the money it had given to the landowners. Once the debt was paid off the serf was free to leave if he wanted. Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.
