Lesson 2: Tsarist Russia The Tsars of the nineteenth century

A history of Tsars: Alexander II (Write out the correct paragraph) Russia were humiliated at this war. He decided Russia’s problem was the structure of its society. He inherited a nation under seige. Alexander II realised that a nation that could not win a war fought on its own territory against an invading Army was a weak nation. Alexander II became Tsar in 1855. The other nations had done away with Feudalism, unlike Russia. Russia was under attack from the invading Armies of Britain and France in the Crimean War, which had started in 1854.

Alexander II became Tsar in 1855. He inherited a nation under seige Alexander II became Tsar in 1855. He inherited a nation under seige. Russia was under attack from the invading Armies of Britain and France in the Crimean War, which had started in 1854. Russia were humiliated at this war. Alexander II realised that a nation that could not win a war fought on its own territory against an invading Army was a weak nation. He decided Russia’s problem was the structure of its society. The other nations had done away with Feudalism, unlike Russia.

Task 2 What was it about Feudalism that held Russia back? Alexander ruled from 1855-1881. I’ve already told you something that he did when in power. What was it? Alexander wanted Russia to modernise. Why should he be careful?

Alexander II’s reforms Emancipation of Serfs Law: ‘Political’ Crimes tried in courts and before juries Peasantry put under local governments, controlled by nobles (Zemstva) More ‘carrot’ than ‘stick’. THINK- PROBLEMS???

Alexander III takes over: What can we expect?

Alexander III Reversed the changes brought by the ‘Tsar liberator’. More ‘stick’ than carrot. Influenced by Pobedonostev

The pillars of Alexander III

Peasantry under control of Tsar Department of Police set up to counter opposition Political criminals now dealt with by the Minister of the Interior (imprisonment, exile) Okhrana Russification (tomorrow) Army Church Censorship

Army Powerful and loyal army (at this point at least) Officers came from nobility Soldiers from conscripted villagers: Each village required to supply its quota of men

The Church Orthodox Church majority ‘God himself commands that this supreme authority be obeyed’ Russia kept to Byzantine Christianity (didn’t accept authority of Rome)- significance? Resentment of other religions
