13th March 1881

Sunday

Every Sunday the tsar of Russia was known to visit Manezh to review the lifegaurds. However due to the recent assasinatiin attempts on his life, Count Loris Melikov warned the Tsar that it was too dangerous to leave until the Narodnaya Volya were destroyed, "Your highness that rebel movement is gaining strenght, soon you may lose your life. We cannot take any chances, outside but you will be safe in the palace." The Tsar pondered for a while, " Very I shall listen to your advice, However I have a plan to win the hearts of my people and crush the revolt, just recently I read the works of Niccolio Macciavelli and John Locke, I have finished reading their work and one quote strikes me, " the strongest fortress a prince can have is the hearts of his people," so I plan to pass sweeping reforms, but keep the real power to myself." The count was shocked when he heard those words " How your highness" Since Peter the great we Tsars have ignored the people but that will change, the tsar smiled I will wipe out the ressistance and win the hearts of my people," The tsar paused for a moment " this is what I will do, Religious freedom for all, the right of free press, the right to freedom, the right to fair trials, the right for all people to be equal, " However I shall control the gov, military, and foreign policy, then I sha startassive charity acts across Russia distributing food to the poor, and spend the states treasury on building up our country's Imfastructure, creating millions of Job oppurtunity and the building of librarys, unicersities and schools, finnaly I will set up a free primary and secondary education system. so my plan is too keep the people happy but wield absoulue power, and these so called ideals of democracy, and other ideologies shall he nonexcistant in my realm." the count was stunned, he knew the Tsars were absoulutists but this was crazy " that's a scary plan," Alexander smiled " you see the reason monarchies have fallen is because those rulers impose harsh treatment on the people."
" Very well my lord you may implement these reforms but I advise you not to to go outside. until these terrorists are crushed"

" very well I shall not leave the palce"
