Czar Alexander III was Russia's second-to-last Czar. He was also, arguably, its coolest, and definitely one of its most oppressive. One day, he'd be lifting heavy deck furniture over his head to impress his in-laws or hunting a bear with a spear. The next, he'd be abolishing basic civil liberties and being so oppressive to Jews that they fled the country en masse. He beat Kaiser Wilhelm II in a drinking contest, and heroically saved his family from a horrific, deadly train derailment that was absolutely his fault. He was an awful, and awfully interesting, guy.
