What would the world look like if Czar Alexander II lived?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Radicalism will never care about "taking what you can get", its all about turning up the heat on the kettle until the pressure bursts and then in the midst of the chaos comes opportunity for the fringe to be mainstreamed.

Ultimately, this is exactly what happened in Russia.

If he had lived, but the question is how long does he have to live to achieve this end and what is that end precisely? He was in his sixties by that time and in the same generation as Queen Victoria/Kaiser Wilhelm I.

Alexander III with his reactionary views is still the heir and Nicholas II was also being indoctrinated by reactionary tutors during this same time frame.

That was not “what they could get” in Russia and the “emancipation” was ultimately empty.

Ironic how you could defend a king after what he did to the most American revolution in Europe, with the suppression and deportation to break the Polish nation that was precipitate the broken norms all up to the 1917 revolution and Soviet Union.

2. "Most American Revolution in Europe"? I do not follow.
