1888 - Tsar Alexander III with his family

Standing behind Alexander is the future Tsar Nicholas II, the last of the Romanovs.

Alexander III deliberately intended to keep his son uneducated in statecraft until Nicholas was 30.
Unfortunately, he died when Nicholas was 26, who ruled only to preserve the absolute monarchy,
lacking the training, intellect, and energy to do otherwise.
