In 1881, Tsar Alexander II Nikolaevich, hailed as the "Tsar Liberator" by many people, was tragically killed by a bomb planted by revolutionary terrorists. My question is how would Russian history, and indeed world history, be different if the good Tsar had once again eluded death and continued with his planned reforms, which included the opening of a parliament I do believe? In this timeline we'll say all future assassination attempts fail also, and he dies of old age somewhere between 1895 and 1900.

I searched around the site, and to my great surprise it seems nobody has asked this. So I look forward to your responses to what I feel is an overlooked historical divergence.
