During the reign of Nicholas II, Russia experienced political repression and limited political reforms. Nicholas II pursued a policy of autocracy, maintaining absolute power and disregarding calls for political liberalization.

Overall, Nicholas II's policies failed to address the growing political and social grievances, eventually leading to the Russian Revolution of 1917.
