RUSSIA - Alexander I (1777 - 1825)

From official postcrossing, Yulia sent me a this card which read: Alexander II (1777 - 1825) reigned as Emperor o Russian from 1801 to 1825.  He was the first Russian king of Poland, as well as the first Russian Grand Duke of Finland.  The Tsar's greatest triumph come in 1812 as Napoleon's invasion proved a total disaster for the French.  Another addition to my royal collection.
