The American (and Western) intelligentsia hates Tsar Aleksandr Aleksandrovich. Yet, he was a man who hated war… he had his bellyful of it in the Russo-Turkish War of 1878-79, where he served in the field. You may find the Western chattering classes “good” or you may find Tsar Aleksandr “good”. Which one you choose I’d say speaks volumes of your character…
