Comment: Western reporting on this has been - unsurprisingly - limited and, where present, wholly derogatory and insulting, with the British Telegraph suggesting that in doing so Putin is "seeking the reflected glory of Russian tsars."
Real people know that Putin has no need to seek such a thing, and that the Russian government's motive in promoting the memory of Alexander III, if anything, follows the same pattern of 'historical perestroika' ('opening up') that Russia has undergone in recent decades as it remembers its true history before it was eviscerated by the Bolshevik revolution.
