Here is the notorious painting by the artist Grigory Gagarin, claiming to confirm the official version, which depicts a column in the woods:

Although it looks more like the dismantling of a building. But it's not that. The problem is that the column is not clearly visible in the gaps in the scaffolding. But some kind of huge statue is visible - a head from above, in the middle of a torso with an arm bent at the elbow, as in the classic image of Alexander Nevsky:

According to the official version, it is believed that the column was named Alexandrovskaya in honor of Tsar Alexander who defeated Napoleon, but there are serious reasons to believe that in honor of Alexander Nevsky, because it stands on the Neva, Nevsky Prospekt goes to it and was installed on August 30, in memory of St. Alexander Nevsky. I wrote more about this here:

The Alexander Column is named so in honor of Alexander Nevsky, and not in honor of Tsar Alexander as it is believed according to the official version

Perhaps it was a huge statue like the Colossus of Rhodes. Or that Colossus was transported to St. Petersburg, but renamed to Alexander Nevsky, later to Tsar Alexander the first. After all, the Sphinxes were brought from Egypt to St. Petersburg.

Here's an interesting version.

Regarding what kind of half-disassembled structure with thick walls under the statue / column is:

Mysterious Cyclopean structure on the site of the Alexander Column at the beginning of the 19th century

An unexpected version of the fact that it was offered by a specialist of the highest category in the Kamasutra

The Alexander Column was located inside the building symbolizing the feminine principle, but it was dismantled

- who does not read that fool.
