Alexander II was forced by circumstances to become a reformer. A man of contradictions and ambivalence both in his personal relationships and in his approach to governing the state, he found sufficient political will to resolve the central issue of the 19th century – the abolition of serfdom. Thanks to Alexander II, February 19, 1861, became a key date in Russian history, and the emperor himself earned the unofficial title of Liberator. The implementation of the Great Reforms gave impetus to foreign policy achievements: the Russian Empire annexed territories in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Far East, and the country strengthened its international authority by assisting the South Slavic peoples in their struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire. This book by L.M. Lyashenko, a candidate of historical sciences, is supplemented with excerpts from the diaries of A.F. Tyutcheva, a lady-in-waiting at the imperial court, the memoirs of D.A. Milyutin, the Minister of War, and a lecture by V.O. Klyuchevsky.
The book "Alexander II." "A History of Three Solitudes" reveals dark corners of Russian history, including the post-Crimean War period, the emancipation of the serfs, reforms and their impact on society, and the atmosphere of the time. Particular attention is paid to the complex relationships between Alexander II and his two sons, lending the book unique depth and drama.
