Alexander II (Russian: Алекса́ндр II Никола́евич, tr. Aleksándr II Nikoláyevich; 29 April 1818 – 13 March 1881) was Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland from 1855 until his assassination in 1881. Alexander's most significant liberal reform as emperor was the emancipation of Russia's serfs in 1861, for which he is known as Alexander the Liberator.
