	:: Welcome to WARCHRON :: WarChron -1914 – The Russian Front - Tsar Nicholas II – Empress Alexandra
		In addition there is coverage of the Russian Orthodox Church, which helped to destroy public confidence in both the Tsar and his administration, the inability of Russian industry to meet the burgeoning military supply needs, and the inadequate and overburdened Russian railway system all played significant roles in the dissolution of the Empire.
		On 3 November 1894, upon the death of his father, Tsar Alexander III, Nicholas took the oath of allegiance at the age of 26 and was crowned as Emperor of Russia.
		The new Tsar was faced with series of events that had taken place during the later part of the 1800s, all of which had a bearing on the shifting balance of power in Europe.

		The future Alexander II was the eldest son of the grand duke Nikolay Pavlovich (who, in 1825, became the emperor Nicholas I) and his wife, Alexandra Fyodorovna (who, before her marriage to the Grand Duke and baptism into the Orthodox Church, had been the princess Charlotte of Prussia).
		Alexander's youth and early manhood were overshadowed by the overpowering personality of his dominating father, from whose authoritarian principles of government he was never to free himself.
		Alexander II, like his uncle Alexander I before him (who was educated by a Swiss republican tutor, a follower of Rousseau), was to turn into a "liberalizing," or at any rate humanitarian, autocrat.

	Alexander I of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander I succeeded to the throne on March 23, 1801, and was crowned in the Kremlin on September 15 of that year.
		Alexander, in fact, who, without being consciously tyrannical, possessed in full measure the tyrant's characteristic distrust of men of ability and independent judgment, lacked also the first requisite for a reforming sovereign: confidence in his people; and it was this want that vitiated such reforms as were actually realized.
		Alexander, indeed, assisted Napoleon in the war of 1809, but he declared plainly that he would not allow the Austrian Empire to be crushed out of existence; and Napoleon complained bitterly of the inactivity of the Russian troops during the campaign.

	The Alexander Palace
		However, the Alexander Palace as well as the events that took place in it played one of the leading roles in the life of the Russian monarchy before its sunset: the palace was the last home of the last Russian Tsar.
		In fact, the suite of rooms where Nicholas II and his family lived were not much to look at in terms of dainty decoration or stylistic purity and were "stuffed [...] with mass-produced things typical for the upper-class", according to the post-revolutionary cliche.
		The most significant interior design projects in the Alexander Palace are associated with brothers R. and F. Meltser: the furniture for all private rooms of the Alexander Palace was manufactured at the factory of the palace supplier according to the designs of the palace architect.

		Russia's last tsar, his family, and servants were brutally murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918 and their remains lay undiscovered until 7 year ago on the outskirts of the Ural town of Yekaterinburg.
		The Russian Orthodox Church was not persuaded of their authenticity and demanded the Russian government's official ruling before burial.
		This decision is at odds with the recommendation of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, which wanted the remains buried in a "symbolic" grave until all doubts as to their authenticity have been resolved.

	Russian Legacy \| Russian History - E. Prussakov - Tsarist Economy
		This period is also known as the period of industrial 'boom' in Russia and it was during that time that the industrial output of the country raised from 5% per annum (figures of 1861-85) to 8-9% per annum.
		Russian government was keen on promoting industrialization because (1) the market was heavily controlled by the state, (2) the development of heavy industry allowed for a fast catch-up, rapidly covering the 'gap' that existed in the country's economy, and besides all this (3) such industrialization improved the overall military capability of Russia.
		Russian economy of this period can by no means be christened a plan of a system.

		When the Russian deposits were thought to have been exhausted, interest in the unique colour miracle decreased - especially since alexandrites from other mines hardly ever displayed the coveted colour change.
