Tsar Alexander II (1818–1881) was assassinated in St Petersburg on 1 March 1881 (13 March in the Western calendar) by members of Narodnaya Volya (People's Will): a first bomb wrecked his carriage, a second, thrown as he stepped out, mortally wounded him. ↩
Henri Rochefort (1831–1913): radical journalist, founder of La Lanterne (1868) and of L'Intransigeant (1880). ↩
Alexander III (1845–1894) granted neither; he reinforced the autocracy. ↩
The Emancipation Reform of 1861, by which Alexander II freed the Russian serfs, was his principal lasting act. ↩
