Alexander III of Russia

Alexander III (10 March 1845 – 1 November 1894) was Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland from 13 March 1881 until his death in 1894. He was highly reactionary in domestic affairs and reversed some of the liberal reforms of his father, Alexander II, a policy of "counter-reforms". Under the influence of Konstantin Pobedonostsev (1827–1907), he acted to maximize his autocratic powers.

During his reign, Russia fought no major wars, and he came to be known as The Peacemaker, with the laudatory title of Tsar’-Mirotvorets enduring into 21st century historiography. His major foreign policy achievement was the Franco-Russian Alliance, a major shift in international relations that eventually embroiled Russia in World War I. His political legacy represented a direct challenge to the European cultural order set forth by German statesman Otto von Bismarck, intermingling Russian influences with the shifting balances of power.

While searching for ref for the Napoleon in the Russian army AU I came across this. Does anyone know what's up with that ... Chernobyl beekeeper dude in the back? I’d assume it was from some sort of engineering/crafts unit but I have never seen them covered up like this.

Poor dudes must have gotten the only napoleonic era uniform where they prioritized efficiency over style 😅
