• Reaction (after father’s assassination in 1881)
• A return to ‘orthodoxy and autocracy’: censorship of the press / reduction in the power of the Zemstvo / Pogroms against Jews / increased secret police activities
• Massive increase in industrial output (foreign capital flowing in) / Russia built up huge gold reserves.
