Monument to Alexander II, Bronze statue near Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Moscow, Russia.
The monument features Alexander II standing tall on a granite pedestal, reaching a total height of 10 meters near the cathedral walls.
Following its initial construction in 1898 and destruction in 1918, the current monument was rebuilt in 2005 through a combination of public funds and private donations.
The memorial represents Alexander II's modernization of Russia, particularly his decision to abolish serfdom in 1861 and implement judicial reforms.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking the metro to Kropotkinskaya station and walking east along the Moscow River towards the cathedral complex.
The statue incorporates the natural slope of the terrain, creating an optical effect where the emperor appears elevated from one angle and ground-level from another.
