Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs in 1861, which sounded well and good but they weren't truly freed. In order to provide the "freed" serfs with land to work and live on, the Russian government took land from the owners, paid them for it then turned it over to village collectives called mirs. The serfs were part of the mir and were required to repay the Russian government over a 49 year period. The "free" serfs could not leave the land until the government was fully paid. Neither the landowners nor the serfs were happy with the situation. Alexander II was later assassinated in 1881.

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.
