imperial russia had many statues of monarchs taking down by the revolution

This towering monument to Tsar Alexander II was situated in the southeastern corner of Moscow’s Kremlin. Alexander II was best known for the emancipation of serfs in 1861. He was killed by a bomb-lobbing, radical leftist in 1881.

This 1889 monument to Alexander II was erected in the center of Samara. Figures around the base of the Samara statue marked the emancipation of the serfs and several other events from Alexander's reign.After the Bolshevik Revolution, the bronze tsar was toppled

This monument to Tsar Alexander III once stood near the eastern end of St. Petersburg’s Nevsky Prospect, where a World War II memorial column now stands.The squat equestrian memorial was widely mocked during its brief tenure looming at the end of the Russian capital's main road.
