Now I know the title is misleading, but this is not about Vladimir Lenin becoming a Tsar of Russia, but instead the Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich becoming Tsar. After doing research for my timeline A Long and Flowing Whig I came across some interesting information. Apparently, during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78(which IMTL is The Second Crimean War), Tsarevich Alexander was a General leading soldiers in the Balkans.

So I was wondering, what if Tsarevich Alexander was killed in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78? To my knowledge the position of Tsarevich would have passed on to the next male heir, which would have been the third son of Tsar Alexander II, Vladimir. What kind of Emperor would Vladimir have been? I can't find much information about him other then who he married or who his children were. Would he have been a "liberal" emperor like his father, or would he have been an arch conservative like his brother Alexander?
