Great Reform - Velikaya reforma

Japanese: 大改革 - だいかいかく(英語表記)Velikaya reforma
Great Reform - Velikaya reforma
A general term for the domestic reforms carried out in Russia under Emperor Alexander II, mainly in the early 1860s, after Russia's defeat in the Crimean War. A term first used by liberal historians of the late Imperial period to praise its progressive nature. In addition to the central reforms, the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the reform of the local government system (zemstvo) in 1864, various other reforms were carried out. The main features of the judicial reform implemented on November 20, 1864 were the abolition of the previous system of class distinctions and the establishment of an equal system for all classes, the opening of trials to the public, and the independence of the judiciary from the executive.
