Czar Alexander III responded to calls for reform with a policy of repression, emphasizing autocracy and implementing a program of Russification to suppress non-Russian cultures and dissent. He restricted press freedoms, increased censorship, and targeted revolutionary groups. Similarly, Czar Nicholas II, despite initially promising reforms, ultimately resisted significant changes and relied on military force to quell unrest, especially during events like the 1905 Revolution. Both czars' repressive measures ultimately fueled further discontent and calls for change among the populace.

The Russian people became increasingly unhappy with the Czars due to a combination of oppressive autocratic rule, widespread poverty, and social inequality. The Czars, particularly Tsar Nicholas II, were seen as out of touch with the struggles of ordinary citizens, especially during times of crisis like World War I. Additionally, failures in military campaigns and economic mismanagement exacerbated public discontent, leading to revolutions and ultimately the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917. This discontent was fueled by a desire for reform and representation, which the Czars consistently resisted.

Nicholas II
There were two czars (or 'tsars,' depending on the system of transliteration) by the name of Nicholas. Nicholas I, whose reign lasted from 1825-1855, was the son of Tsar Pavel (also Romanized as "Paul") I. Nicholas II, the last ruling tsar, who abdicated the throne in favor of the provisional government in 1917, was the son of Tsar Alexander III.
