Untill after

The Brotherhood engaged in covert diplomacy, attempting in vain to negotiate
an agreement with revolutionary leaders in exile for a cease-fire to be
observed until after the coronation of Alexander III in return for the promise
of some political reforms

So they asked revolutionary leaders to cease fire till the moment Alexander is coronated and for some time after that? Sounds strange. Thanks

Vladv So they asked revolutionary leaders to cease fire till the moment Alexander is coronated and for some time after that? Sounds strange. OK, but the alternative is for the cease-fire to be observed until the coronation, which pretty much guarantees that there will be shooting the moment the crown touches Alexander's head.
