1880?
Following his wife's death in 1880, Alexander formed a morganatic marriage with his mistress Princess Catherine Dolgoruki. Together they had two sons and two daughters How did they manage to produce 4 children if he died the next year!?!?!--130.184.150.168 20:10, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Moved from article page to here
In the "Assassination" section, it says "On the very day on which this decree was to be signed—March 13, 1881—he fell victim to a Nihilist plot." An anonymous user asked "(What decree? Someone should be more specific. If memory serves, it was to institute a parliment)" I moved the comment here. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 16:40, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
BBC programme
This evening BBC radio 4's In Our Time programme talked at length about Alexander, the emancipation, and his death. I think it would make a worthy exlink from this article. Unfortunately they've not yet added it to their "history archive" page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_history.shtml (it's still the "current" programme). Once they do have a permalink for it, I'll add it as an exlink. -- John Fader 22:27, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Lightening of censorship
In the other reforms section, it should be noted that Alexander lightened the censorship policies that were in place under his predecessor, Nicholas I. This created a forum for public opinion, but with no way of directly affecting national policy, in part led to the formation of the secret groups and revolutionary agitation mentioned.
