On Saturday, Vladimir Putin attended the unveiling of the monument to Emperor Alexander III, which was erected on the territory of the Arsenal Square at the Grand Gatchina Palace to honour the 175th birth anniversary of the Russian Peacemaker Tsar.
Emperor Alexander III, was called by the people a peacemaker tsar, because during his reign Russia did not wage a single war.
It is with the name of this ruler that the grandiose and bold plan for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway is associated.
The monument was created by Vladimir Brodarsky, a graduate of the Ilya Repin St Petersburg Academy of Arts after a design by sculptor Paolo Troubetzkoy (1866 – 1938). The project was implemented by the Russian Military Historical Society and the Russian Historical Society.
