* Alexander I (ruler of Russia 1801-1825) was the son of
Paul I. On his accession he was young energetic and popu-
lar, and the first half of his reign was marked by liberal poli-
cies. Youthful idealism was the order of the day, and the
reformer Michael Speransky became a close adviser to the
new Czar. By 1812, however, grave problems in Europe
began to weigh and Speransky was ousted by his rivals who
believed his reforms were too ambitious. Eventually, Alex-
ander turned his energies towards the defeat of Napoleon,
and despite his successes, the affairs of state seemed to
take their toll. Alexander remains one of Russia's most
interesting and complex rulers, and his last days are
shrouded in mystery. Late in 1825 he travelled to Southern
Russia where he contracted typhoid and died. His sudden
death sparked rumors that he had renounced the throne
and fled! The British ambassador vowed that he had
'seen'Alexander boarding a ship, although some say that he
became a monk. In 1925 the Soviets opened his tomb and
it was empty!
