Nicholas I 1825-1855 slogan = 'Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality' (orthodox church, auto = complete obedience to the tsar and nationality- united under Rus traditions) and Fundamental Laws 1832 stating that tsar = unlimited and autocratic monarch
Alexander II 1855-1881 despite being the Tsar Liberator, stuck closely to autocratic principles, especially post-1866 assassination attempt. Still compensated land owners in 1861 EoS
Alexander III 1881-1894 blamed A2's liberalism for assassination in 1881. Manifesto of 1881 reaffirmed autocracy
Nicholas II 1894-1917 did concede October Manifesto 1905 + allow Dumas to exist, however the 1906 Fundamental Laws reaffirmed autocratic power - "The emperor possesses the supreme autocratic power"
