With no PoDs prior to his father’s assassination (or, if possible, the Treaty of Tilst), how much more can liberalization of the Russian Empire advance under Alexander I than OTL, and how much earlier can key reforms come in general? What I’m particularly interested in here is serfdom (its reform, weakening, and/or abolition), followed by a shift toward constitutional government (whether by establishing layers of Obshchina, Zemstovs, and Duma, or something else).

We can assume this is part of a TL where Napoleon doesn’t invade Russia, and a Bonapartist Europe emerges, unless any of you think that’s less than ideal for the challenge. @TRH @33N @Seraphiel
