Alexander III (Russian: Алекса́ндр III Алекса́ндрович, tr.
Aleksandr III Aleksandrovich; 10 March 1845 – 1 November 1894) was Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland from 13 March 1881 until his death in 1894.
He was highly reactionary and reversed some of the liberal reforms of his father, Alexander II.This policy is known in Russia as "counter-reforms" (Russian: контрреформы).
Under the influence of Konstantin Pobedonostsev (1827–1907), he opposed any reform that limited his autocratic rule.During his reign, Russia fought no major wars; he was therefore styled "The Peacemaker" (Russian: Миротворец, tr.
Mirotvorets, IPA: [mʲɪrɐˈtvorʲɪt͡s]).It was he who helped forge the Russo-French Alliance.
