Alexander's formula is also popular today with Putin’s nationalists in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In his pro-imperial Russia film “The Barber of Siberia,” the Oscar-winning director Nikita Mikhalkov – whose father composed the Stalin-era national anthem that Putin recently revived – used the coronation of Alexander III as the symbolic centerpiece of Russia’s greatness, inviting Russian leaders to walk in his footsteps.
亚历山大的话在莫斯科和圣彼得堡的民族主义者那里颇受欢迎。在亲帝国主义俄罗斯电影《西伯利亚的理发师》中，奥斯卡获奖导演尼基塔·米哈尔科夫（Nikita Mikhalkov）用亚历山大三世的加冕典礼作为象征俄罗斯鼎盛时期的场景，吸引俄罗斯领导人追随着亚历山大三世的足迹。基塔·米哈尔科夫的父亲正是创作了最近被普京恢复的斯大林时代的国歌的作曲家。
