Aleksei II (Slavic: Алексей II Владимирович, Aleksey II Vladimirovich; August 21 1888– April 28 1912) was the Imperator of the Slavic Union from August 21, 1888 until his death on April 28, 1912. The first half of his reign saw economic growth after decades of stagnation, but the second was marred by the brutal Ledyanaya War and massive instability.
He was highly reactionary and resisted calls to liberalize the country. His economic policies benefited a circle of allies and foreign investors, helping wealthy landowners consolidate large estates, often through violent means and legal abuse. These policies grew increasingly unpopular, resulting in civil repression and regional conflicts, as well as strikes and uprisings from labor and the peasants, which ultimately lead to his assassination in 1912.
