Alexander III. The Organizer of the Russian World (set of 2 books)

The research of candidate of historical sciences I. E. Dronov is dedicated to the reign of the Russian Emperor Alexander III. The author of the book comprehensively describes the childhood of Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich, the political and spiritual atmosphere during his growing up and formation.
The first volume of the dilogy covers the period of Russia's confrontation with a united bloc of Western countries in the Crimean War, followed by the era of Great Reforms with unprecedented liberalization of all spheres of Russian life, and the participation of the Northern Empire in the struggle for the independence of the Slavs of the Balkan Peninsula. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878, the Tsarevich personally led the Ruschuk detachment of the Danube Army, which successfully held back the hundred-thousand-strong forces of the Ottomans for many months. In peacetime, the future tsar became a recognized leader of the conservative party, clearly seeing the destructive nature of thoughtless political transformations in the millennium-old state. The historical correctness of the Tsarevich was eloquently confirmed on March 1, 1881. On that day, a bomb from terrorist Narodnaya Volya members took the life of his dearly beloved father Alexander II, prompting the heir to the throne to seek his own answers to new challenges.
