The Decem S of Russian Democracy

Czar alexander's liberal sympathies were well known. He ruled the finns as a constitutional monarch. The union of salvation eventually grew to just over 30 members. After kind of floundering around and not achieving much, they decided in 18 18 to fold the union of salvation and rebrand themselves the union of welfare or union of prosperity. This new society was meant to be more out in the open, and it pretended to have no political agenda at all. But there was an inner political programme that still aimed to force through some kind of constitutional government.
