The Alexander Column is named in honor of Alexander Nevsky, and not in honor of Tsar Alexander

Everything that is connected with the Alexander Column is in one way or another connected with Alexander Nevsky and has nothing to do with Alexander the First, unless it is one and the same person.

The most important event is the erection of the column on a pedestal. It happened on August 30, 1832. And the grand opening of the finished monument took place on the same day, August 30, exactly 2 years later

By office. the version is named Alexander in honor of Tsar Alexander 1, who defeated Napoleon. However, the date August 30 is the day of remembrance of another Alexander, Nevsky:

So, under Nicholas I, the column was erected on the day of commemoration of Al-Ra Nevsky in 1832, and in 1834 the monument was solemnly opened again on the day of memory of Nevsky. So what does Tsar Alexander I have to do with it?

Moreover, according to one of the projects, Alexander Nevsky (pictured first) should have stood at the top of the column:

The fact that this is exactly Nevsky is confirmed in the official version:

1833

April 12 - 5 options are offered for consideration: with one or two figures (B. I. Orlovsky); with figures Alexander Nevskyor Archangel Michael (I. I. Leppe); with figures symbolizing Faith, Hope and Love (T. Jacques)

There are no options with the image of Tsar Alexander the first. And the pedestal of the column is all painted with weapons and armor from the times of Alexander Nevsky:

Nothing here reminds of the war of 1812. What does Alexander the First and his victory over Napoleon have to do with it?

Imagine that a monument in honor of the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 consisted of scenes of battles with the Mongol-Tatars in the Middle Ages? Absurd, for which you do not take it.

Well, if the column is named after Nevsky, then, quite possibly, it stood even before Tsar Alexander the First was born. Next to the column is the Neva River, Alexander Nevsky prospect through the arch of the General Staff. Everything around the monument and on the monument itself is connected with Alexander Nevsky, but the monument is dedicated not to him but to another Alexander? In my opinion, in order to hide the fact of the presence of the column before its official installation, they let a white bear tale that it was built in honor of the war of 1812 and in honor of Tsar Alexander the first. But the words are one thing, and the bas-reliefs on the pedestal are another. The tongue is boneless, and the bronze bas-relief with the armor of Alexander Nevsky is solid. To grind with a tongue is not to roll bronze bas-reliefs.

Although, perhaps, the theory of Fomenko-Nosovsky is right, according to which, in order to lengthen the story, the same historical character is presented as several, allegedly living at different times. It is necessary to check, maybe in the New Chronology of Fomenko-Nosovsky this is one character? Who knows - let me know.
