Nicholas I

Nicholas I was Tsar of the Russian Empire from 1825 to 1855.
== Biography ==
He reigned as Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland from 1825 until his death in 1855. He was the third son of Paul I and younger brother of his predecessor, Alexander I. Nicholas inherited his brother's throne despite the failed Decembrist revolt against him. He is mainly remembered in history as a reactionary whose controversial reign was marked by geographical expansion, economic growth, and massive industrialization on the one hand, and centralization of administrative policies and repression of dissent on the other. Nicholas had a happy marriage that produced a large family; all of their seven children survived childhood.
