Czars of Russia and their strange deeds

The article recounts five modern Russian rulers five Alexanders and two Nicholases with emphasis on Nicholas I. It notes his railroad straight line order between St Petersburg and Moscow and his purgatory ruling stance. It also mentions Alexander I and a tale about a roast suckling pig during a visit to a military colony.

Description of Russian Imperial misrule and quirky justice

A fragmentary retelling contrasts violence with irony as Alexander I faces bomb violence and graft in the empire. It recalls Alexander II’s nickname military tailor and a reform tale where a student is punished by being given a complete uniform. The piece blends satire and history with dramatic snapshots.
