Alexander II of Russia, also known as the late Tsar of Russia, was a prominent figure in Russian history. Born on 29 April 1818, he ascended to the throne and became Emperor of Russia. His reign witnessed significant events that shaped the nation's future. One notable occasion during Alexander II's rule was his attendance at a grand ball hosted by the Count and Countess de Morny in St Petersburg. The event depicted in an engraving showcases the opulence and splendor associated with imperial gatherings. However, it wasn't just lavish balls that defined Alexander II's legacy. In 1861, he made a groundbreaking decision - the Emancipation of the serfs. This historic act marked a turning point for millions who were previously bound to landowners as indentured laborers. During his reign, Alexander II faced numerous challenges and threats to his life. An attack on him by Polish Berezowski in 1867 serves as a reminder of these dangers. Nihilism, an ideological movement characterized by radical skepticism towards traditional values and institutions, gained traction within Russian society during this time. Tragically, despite surviving previous attempts on his life, Alexander II met his demise through assassination in 1881. Engravings depicting both the condemned prisoners involved in this act and sketches illustrating how exactly he was attacked serve as haunting reminders of this fateful event. The attempt to shoot him while visiting Bois de Boulogne further highlights the constant danger surrounding his position. However, authorities managed to seize the assassin before any harm could be done. Even after his death, Alexander II's impact continued to reverberate throughout history. His involvement at important battles like Plevna showcased not only his military prowess but also demonstrated Russia's role on international stages. Alexander II of Russia left an indelible mark on both domestic affairs and foreign relations during his reign as Emperor.
