Introduction

"Alexander Garden" is located outside the red walls of the Kremlin in a rectangular shape, divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. It has a total length of 904 meters and a width of about 150 meters. The garden was built in 1821 to commemorate Tsar Alexander I, the fourteenth ruler of the Romanov dynasty. Nowadays, it is a popular leisure place for Moscow residents, with beautiful flowers, lush trees, and a blend of fountains, sculptures, buildings, and gardens. The sculpture depicts the portrait of Alexander I, commemorating his leadership of the Russian-led anti-French alliance's victory over Napoleon I and the revival of European monarchies. On the side of the statue base, there are two reliefs depicting the largest-scale battles in history: one is the battle outside Leipzig from October 4th to 7th, 1813, and the other is the victorious entry of Alexander I into Paris on March 19th, 1814. In 1825, Alexander I died suddenly at a sanatorium, which has remained a mystery to this day, giving rise to many speculations. During his reign, Alexander I reformed the Russian military system, introducing the corps system and abolishing the aristocratic control of the military. He led Russia to rise in the anti-French alliance, winning several historical events such as the Great Fire of Moscow, the Polish Constitution, and agricultural reforms. Although he did not abolish serfdom, he played a significant role in leading Russia towards modernization, leaving a remarkable chapter in history books.
