peu enclin aux réformes qui arrive au pouvoir. Persuadé que le libéralisme de son père a fait le lit de la violence, Alexandre III va s'employer à restaurer l'autocratie dans toute sa rigueur. S'il laisse le souvenir d'un esprit étroit, il a cependant à son actif la création du chemin de fer qui traverse les grandes plaines russes jusqu'aux neiges sibériennes, de même qu'une gestion habile de la politique extérieure après avoir détaché la Russie de ses alliances avec l'Allemagne, il oeuvre au rapprochement avec la France. Au centre d'une époque troublée, cet être assez fruste, qui fut l'avant-dernier tsar de Russie, apparaît, grâce à la plume d'Henri Troyat, dans toutes ses contradictions.
