The Octobre Manifesto

The document he signed putting new changes into law, sounds like the first principles of the modern states we live in to day. Nicholas would never stop seeing his choice to give in to these changes as anything other than a blemish on russian life. He would spend the rest of his time as czar trying to claw back these changes. But as much as signing the october manifesto brought changes to russian government, it was really just the culmination of a long process of change.
