How did czars Alexander III and Nicholas II deal with calls for reform?
In 1881, reforms in Russia stopped when the czar was killed by radical students. The new czar, Alexander III, took back control of the Russian government. He cracked down on anyone who seemed to threaten his government. He also oppressed all non-Russian peoples who lived within the Russian empire, especially Jews.
On Bloody Sunday the Russian army killed hundreds of hungry workers who had peacefully gathered to ask for relief.
