The scene above depicts the famous –
Charge of the Light Brigade (immortalized by Lord Tennyson)
Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd;Storm'd at with shot and shell,Boldly they rode and well,Into the jaws of Death,Into the mouth of hellRode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,Flash'd as they turn'd in air,Sabring the gunners there,Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd:Plunged in the battery-smokeRight thro' the line they broke;Cossack and RussianReel'd from the sabre stroke Shattered and sunderedThen they rode backBut not the six hundred.
The humiliating defeat forced Russia to take a hard look at
herself!
Nicholas’s son Alexander II moved toward modernization shortly after the war. In 1861 he
emancipated (freed) the serfs. Despite his efforts he was assassinated in 1881. His son Alexander III halted his father’s efforts and attempted to return to a more conservative
govt. - tightening his control over the country. Why would he move away from his father’s
liberal policies?
