MONUMENT TO ALEXANDER III

On the 23^rd of May, 1909 a monument to Alexander III was opened in the center of present day Vosstaniya square. At that time the square was called Znamenskaya. Tsar Alexander III started to build the Great Siberian Railroad which connected the capital and the far East. That’s why the monument was erected in front of the Nickolaevsky Rrailway station. Now it is called Moscovsky. The monument was designed by Italian sculptor Paolo Nrubetskoy who was known for his talented sculptures. But the monument to Alexander III made him famous all over the world. After the revolution of 1917 a poem by Demyan Bedny “Scarecrow” was carved on the pedestal. In 1937 the monument was moved to the yard of the Russian Museum, where it was kept for many years. Now it stands near the Marble palace which is the part of the Russian Museum.
