He kept a regular schedule of an afternoon walk with his beloved Irish setter named Milord. He made up a secret codeword for sex called "bingerle" with his longtime mistress Catherine, whom he married after the death of his wife Maria. This man was tutored as a youth by the author of the poem "A Bard in the Camp of Russian Warriors," Vasily Zhukovsky. He declared martial law after the (*) January Uprising and appointed "Mikhail the Hangman," who brutally suppressed the Poles. During his reign, he re-established the Diet of Finland and elevated Finnish to a national language. The Church of the Savior on Blood was built as a memorial to this man. Domestically, he established a system of local self-government called zemstvos. For 10 points, name this tsar who emancipated the serfs before being assassinated by the People's Will in 1881.
