Chapter 37, The Meticulously Planned Uprising

After Alexander II ascended the throne, he initiated reforms within the nation, softening his governing tactics in the Polish Region to gain the support of the Polish people.

The Tsarist Government pardoned Polish political prisoners and allowed the establishment of the Polish Medical Academy and Agricultural Association Organization in Warsaw.

In 1863, Alexander II reinstated the Faith and Public Education Committee, which had been abolished twenty years earlier, and also permitted the convening of the State Advisory Meetings (of an advisory nature).

(Note: Since the accession of Alexander II and the timing of the reforms were delayed in the story, many dates differ from historical events.)

The Tsarist Government's concessions satisfied the Polish bourgeoisie and nobility. The calling of the State Representative Assembly provided them with a channel to exert influence on domestic politics.
