  • MediaDB / «All-Russian Emperor Alexander III Alexandrovich" Kirill Solovyov: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2015 / For some reason, Alexander III is considered a martinet and a drunkard. And even credit him with the invention of a flat flask, which he hid in his boot and called “The need for cunning inventions.” Contemporaries mocked the equestrian monument to him: “There is a chest of drawers, on the chest of drawers there is a hippopotamus.” This is all nonsense and nonsense. Realizing that the assassination of his father, Alexander II the Liberator, by bombers was throwing wide the gates to a wave of terror, Alexander Alexandrovich took Russia into circulation, suppressing any even small manifestation of revolutionary inclinations. Already dying, bequeathing Russia to his son Nicholas II, he said: “Keep it like this!” - and clenched his mighty fist. A man of remarkable strength, he died not from drunkenness, but from overstraining himself while saving his family during the crash of the royal train near Borki, holding the roof of the flattened carriage in his hands while his wife and children and the survivors climbed out of it lackeys. During his reign, Russia became a world leader in terms of production rates, thousands of kilometers of railways were built. The ruble was valued as the world's gold currency. And the authority of the country was such that when ambassadors arrived in Tsarskoye Selo, and Alexander was fishing on the pond at that time, the emperor said: “When the Russian Tsar fishes, Europe can wait.” And this was not a joke. And most importantly, during the entire reign, 13 years, Russia did not wage a single war. For which he received his highest title from the people - Peacemaker.
