Aleksandr II Nikolaevich (Александр II Николаевич, 1818 - 1881) - Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland (1855-1881). He entered the Russian history as a conductor of large-scale reforms. He was awarded a special epithet in Russian pre-revolutionary and Bulgarian historiography - the Liberator (due to the abolition of serfdom and the victory in the war for the independence of Bulgaria). Killed as a result of a terrorist act organized by a secret revolutionary organization.

The statue of Alexander II, Tsar of Russia and Grand Duke of Finland, known in Finland as \the good czar\ is one of the major tourist landmarks of the city and of course a reminder of Finland's close relationship with Imperial Russia. Walter Runeberg (sculptor) made the monarch’s statue according to Takanen’s (sculptor) proposal. The granite pedestal is surrounded by four statues Law, Science/Art, Peace and Work.
