Alexander III, known as the "Peacemaker Tsar," passed away on November 1, 1894. He ruled for thirteen and a half years and died at the age of 49, earning the reputation of the "Peacemaker Tsar" for the fact that not a drop of Russian blood was shed on the battlefields during his reign.

Historian V.O. Klyuchevsky noted shortly after his death that science would assign Emperor Alexander III a worthy place not only in the history of Russia and Europe but also in Russian historiography. He emphasized that Alexander III achieved victory where it was particularly difficult, overcoming popular prejudices and fostering the rapprochement of peoples, strengthening public conscience in the name of peace and truth. Alexander III increased the amount of good in the moral circulation of humanity, inspired Russian historical thought and national consciousness, and did so so quietly that only after his death did Europe realize his significance.

For Alexander III, being Russian was paramount and particularly significant not because of its superiority but because it was native and close. It was under him that the words first sounded: "Russia, for Russians and in Russian." Despite being aware of the problems in Russian life, he was confident that overcoming them was only possible through a personal sense of duty and responsibility.

In the last two hundred years, he became the first ruler who did not seek the "love of Europe" and was not interested in opinions about himself abroad. However, it was under him that Russia gained the moral authority of a great world power without a single shot fired. The bridge over the Seine in Paris, named in his honor, became a vivid confirmation of this.

Alexander III left this world early, still a relatively young man. His death was mourned by millions of Russians who sincerely revered and loved him as a great, strong, Christ-loving, and just ruler.
