Detailed explanation-1: -Considered Russia’s last true autocrat, Alexander III was the epitome of what a Russian Tsar was supposed to be. Forceful, formidable, fiercely patriotic, and at 6’ 4” towered over his fellow countrymen. He was the embodiment of the fabled Russian bear. He came to power at a critical point in Imperial Russian history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alexander III, Russian Aleksandr Aleksandrovich, (born March 10, 1845, St. Petersburg, Russia-died Nov. 1, 1894, Livadiya, Crimea), Tsar of Russia (1881–94). He assumed the throne after the assassination of his father, Alexander II.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alexander III took initiatives to stimulate the development of trade and industry, as his father did before him. Russia’s economy was still challenged by the Russian-Turkish war of 1877–1878, which created a deficit, so he imposed customs duties on imported goods.
Detailed explanation-4: -During his reign, Nicholas gave support to the economic and political reforms promoted by his prime ministers, Sergei Witte and Pyotr Stolypin.
