To what extent did the reforms of Alexander II achieve his aims
Alexander II took all the necessary steps and prepared a platform for future modernization of the country. The first problem Alexander had to face was the serfdom question. By the mid-19th century, there were around 53 million serfs in the Russian Empire making up 90% of the whole population. The serfs were laborers, who were forced to work on the fields of laborers, in return for their protection and the right to work on their land. The peasants were bound to the land and so were in other words legally owned by the landlords.
