Император Александр lll

Emperor Alexander III earned the title of the Peacemaker during his lifetime, as not a drop of Russian blood was spilled on the fields of battle during his reign. Under his rule, Russia restored its prestige as a great world... power, the significance and influence of which became evident and widely recognized. Alexander III did not admire the West, nor did he worship liberal ideas, believing that the literal imposition of foreign orders would not benefit Russia. He was a Russian man, not in "blood composition," but in the nature of his thoughts, ideas, and feelings. He was an Orthodox Tsar-Patriot, for whom everything Russian was always dear and invaluable, as it is a legacy from the ancestors, a gift from the Almighty. He never doubted for a moment that the troubles and absurdities in Russian life should be overcome by relying on one's own sense of understanding duty and responsibility, on one's own interests.
