NY-25

            The Alexander Column is an Empire-style monument located in the center of Palace Square in Saint Petersburg. The column was erected in 1834 by the architect Auguste Montferrand by decree of Emperor Nicholas I in memory of the victory of his elder brother, Emperor Alexander I, over Napoleon. 
At the end of March 1812, the Russian Guard, led by Alexander I, triumphantly entered Paris, and the Cossacks set up camp on the Champs-Élysées. 
The material for the Alexander Column was pink granite from Finland, which was annexed to Russia on April 1, 1808, by the manifesto of Alexander I, based on the Treaty of Fredrikshamn.

Александровская колонна - монумент в стиле ампир, расположенный в центре Дворцовой площади в Санкт-Петербурге. Колонна воздвигнута в 1834 году архитектором Огюстом Монферраном по указу императора Николая I в память о победе его старшего брата императора Александра I над Наполеоном. 
В конце марта 1812 года русская гвардия во главе с Александром I торжественно вступила в Париж, а казаки разбили лагерь на Елисейских полях. 
Материалом для Александровской колонны послужил розовый гранит из Финляндии, которая 1 апреля 1808 года на основании Фридрихсгамского мира была присоединена к России манифестом Александра I.
