Photograph of the demolition of the monument to Alexander III in Moscow, July 1918.
As Tsarist Russia fell in 1917, so did the monuments of its monarchs. The colossal bronze statue to Alexander III was dismantled in July 1918 following a decree that all Romanov dynasty monuments be replaced with those honouring revolutionaries.
