Stanislawski argues that the Jewish population of the Russian empire began the first steps of its eventual transformation during the rule of Tsar Nicholas I (1825-1855). He also has a more positive view of Tsar Nicholas than previous scholarship does. As in, Tsar Nicholas may not have been a nice guy and he may have sometimes not been so nice to the Jews, but he wasn’t trying to be evil and he wasn’t trying to persecute them just to get an evil laugh out of it.

Brilliant historical analysis of factors affecting Jews in Russia during Tsar Nick’s reign from 1825-55.
