Alexander III

Alexander III was born to his parents Maria Aleksandrovna and Alexander II. Many people speculated that he was nothing similar to his impressionable, softhearted father, and even less so than his complex, chivalrous, and refined grandfather Alexander I. Instead, Alexander II gloried the concept of being as rough as most of his current subjects; such a straightforward manner emphasized gruffness sometimes, but overall, his frank methods of expressing himself were in great harmony with his mobile rough-hewn features, which makes him one of the most memorable rulers in history.

In his first 20 years, no one expected Alexander III to take over the throne in the future. Hence, he only received perfunctory training sessions found in most other grand dukes that were no more than basic instructions of the military, German, English, and French drill. Hence, once he was assigned the throne's air after Nikolay (his brother)'s 1865 death, Alexander III decided to investigate further into administration and law principles, guided by K.P. - a political philosopher and jurist.

On 13 March, in 1881, Alexander II got assassinated; and on that very same day, Alexander II signed the ukaz that created several consultative commissions that have been converted into representative assemblies. However, Alexander III decided to cancel that ukaz before its publishing, announcing that he never intended to limit the autocratic powers he had successfully inherited.
