		Vladimir Alexandrovich and Maria Pavlovna, who were the heads of the next most senior branch of the House of Romanov, clearly aspired to a special position at court, although many disliked their family for its inherent arrogance and presumption.
		As for the male sex, any grand duke was considered first and foremost an officer on active service; any other inclinations or pastimes were at best tolerated, but by definition less worthy activities.
		In Russia's Far Eastern strategy, shaped to a large extent by the personal initiative of the Emperor, a due measure of statesmanly restraint was, however, lacking.

	Alexander III of Russia - Wikipedia Mirror
		All the internal reforms which he initiated were intended to correct what he considered as the too liberal tendencies of the previous reign, so that he left behind him the reputation of a sovereign of the retrograde type.
		In his opinion Russia was to be saved from anarchical disorders and revolutionary agitation, not by the parliamentary institutions and so-called liberalism of western Europe, but by the three principles which the elder generation of the Slavophils systematically recommended—nationality, Eastern Orthodoxy and autocracy.
		In foreign affairs he was emphatically a man of peace, but not at all a partisan of the doctrine of peace at any price, and he followed the principle that the best means of averting war is to be well prepared for it.

		From that time, namely in the year 6745 (1237), up to the present Grand Duke Vasiley, not only were nearly all the princes of Russia tributaries of the Tartars, but every princi- pality was deferred to the will of the Tartars when Russians were making any interest to procure them.
