Tsar Alexander II freed the serfs in Russia in 1861.
Serfs in Russia were officially freed in 1861 by Tsar Alexander II through the Emancipation Manifesto. The emancipation was part of a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the country and addressing social issues.
There are no serfs in Russia today.
Russia abolished serfdom, which was a form of semi-feudal slavery, in 1861 under Tsar Alexander II. This decree freed over 23 million serfs and marked the end of serfdom in Russia.
Instigated by Tsar Alexander II in 1861, he was the first to instigate the Great Reforms. He did this because the idea of reform was becoming gradually more popularized, and he wished to ensure that his people wouldn't revolt for drastic change. In the Emancipation, he emancipated nearly 50 million serfs, and offered them grants of land. The problem was that because they had worked for no pay, the newly emancipated serfs had no money to pay the mandatory taxes.
