Alexander III of Russia (died 1894)

Alexander III was Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland from 13 March 1881 until his death in 1894. He was highly reactionary in domestic affairs and reversed some of the liberal reforms of his father, Alexander II, a policy of "counter-reforms". Under the influence of Konstantin Pobedonostsev (1827–1907), he acted to maximize his autocratic powers.
