Nicholas I of Russia

Tsar Nicholas I

Nicholas I was Tsar of Russia from 1825 to 1861, and the father of Alexander and Constantine. Nicholas was a notorious autocrat who repressed the Russian people's liberties. Russia became a police state, with the cultural aspect being all but expelled. This led to a Polish rebellion is 1861, in which Tsesarevich Alexander attempted to appeal to Nicholas to lessen his grip. Instead, Nicholas accused Alexander of an attempted coup and being a member of a revived Decembrist Movement. In the disagreement, Nicholas was killed by gunshot. His death caused a succession crisis in Russia that led to Alexander's exile to Kiev.
