- reasons for reaction under Alex II
- eldest son and heir died in 1865
- spent more time with mistress
- spent less time with Grand Duke Konstantin and Grand Duchess Elena
- reactionary conservatives emphasised reforms gone too far
- weakening church and nobility (monarchy relied on them)
- four assassination attempts on Alex between 1866 and 1880 reinforced need for reaction
- replaced four reformist ministers with conservatives in 1866
- eldest son and heir died in 1865
