The horse died in 326 BC, but I am surprised how many people recognize that name as having once belonged to a famous horse! That was a bit of history that was lacking from my education I guess.

He was a Russian Tzar who did many things to reform the church and Russian Society and bring the country into what was then a much more modern era.

My d-i-l is from Russia and her family lives there, so they visit once a year or so. The cat traveled in a carrier under her airplane seat a year ago. It is my understanding that cats are much easier than dogs to bring into the country.
