1864 CE to 1875 CE
The accession of Alexander II had brought a social restructuring that required a public discussion of issues.
Accordingly, the regime had lifted some manifestations of censorship, yet in 1863 it had prohibited publishing in the Ukrainian language.
In 1866, when an attempt is made to assassinate the tsar, censorship is reinstated, but pre-1855 levels of control are not restored.
Universities, which had been granted autonomy in 1861, are also restricted in 1866.
The central government, attempting to act through the zemstvos but lacking effective resources, seeks to establish uniform curricula for elementary schools and to control the schools by imposing conservative policies.
Because many liberal teachers and school officials are only nominally subject to the reactionary Ministry of Education, the regime's educational achievements are mixed after 1866.
