Czar Alexander II, the ruler of Russia since 1855, is killed in the streets of St. Petersburg by a bomb thrown by a member of the revolutionary “People’s Will” group. The People’s Will, organized in 1879, employed terrorism and assassination in their attempt to overthrow Russia’s czarist autocracy. They murdered officials and made several attempts on the czar’s life before finally assassinating him on March 13, 1881.
As czar, Alexander did much to liberalize and modernize Russia, including the abolishment of serfdom in 1861. However, when his authority was challenged, he turned repressive, and he vehemently opposed movements for political reform. Ironically, on the very day he was killed, he signed a proclamation—the so-called Loris-Melikov constitution—that would have created two legislative commissions made up of indirectly elected representatives.
He was succeeded by his 36-year-old son, Alexander III, who rejected the Loris-Melikov constitution. Alexander II’s assassins were arrested and hanged, and the People’s Will was thoroughly suppressed. The peasant revolution advocated by the People’s Will was achieved by Vladimir Lenin’s Bolshevik revolutionaries in 1917.

No the “people’s will” was taken over,subverted,infiltrated and hi-jacked by the Bolshevicks who then destroyed the people’s will while claiming to be them!name stealing,it’s what they do!…..fify……
Ever notice liberals and law abiding right wingers always have no problem with assassination, as long as it’s the far left marxists and totalitarians doing it? They lose their fucking minds if a freedom loving right winger kills some pos left winger politician or agent.
I always loved to observe the irony of the excuses on the right of why it’s only wrong for there side to fight back violently. Guess it’s, what shit do I give if they don’t want to win,I am a happy nonconformist to either party, but I get tired of seeing Republicans and and right wingers the world over get assraped and lose for misguided honor, law following, unwillingness to fight, adapt, or adopt the tactics that work of there enemies in order win. They fear being called their enemies, or becoming them in act, what they fail to realize is, it doesnt matter what the sheep think if you win , if you do nothing effective to counter your murderous foe, you go fucking extinct! That is what I see happening.
Sure you are the majority Republicans, but it doesnt matter, the left has taken all the power, all the military grade guns and other weapons, all of the infrastructure,all ofvthe law enforcement for the most part You all act like cattle, not men or women. Who’d want to fucking join your side to lose and end up in a gulag somewhere like D.C. ? You all are pathetic, at least the Democrats bail their own out! What do you fuckers do. do, back the blue? Give them qualified immunity? Fund them not defund them!? Give bad law resisters and dissidents automatic capital death sentences for fighting the marxist police? Enforce the law on the books? What law on the books? Communist Laws from the left!? Seeiously fuck you guys, you are more traitors than the left,fuck back the blue to. Back the Freedom and CONSTITUTION!
can history repeat and let it be J. Trudont??
Serfs up!
The fuck you say? Vladimir Lenin was no savior of the people! Nor the servant of their will! WTF?
Wonder when Obiden will chime in to share his story about the day this happened and how he pleaded to remain calm and let diplomacy play out.?
