Abstract
The Populist movement resulted from Alexander II's Great Reforms. The purpose of the reforms was to take Russia into the future. However, the Russian people were not ready for the radical changes that were being implemented in their society. The people began questioning the foundation of Russian society. This culminated in the formation of Russia's first revolutionary movement which was called Populism. The Russian government's reaction to the Populist Movement was one that' was true to its historic paternalistic despotic tradition. The Movement was effectively eliminated and Russia regressed once more to a country that would be controlled by the means of governmental oppression.
