A famous bearer of this name was Aleksandr Nikolayevich Skriabin (1871 - 1915), main composer and pianist of the Russian symbolist movement. Scriabin was one of the most innovative and most controversial of early modern composers. The Great Soviet Encyclopedia said of Scriabin that "no composer has had more scorn heaped on him or greater love bestowed."

Aleksandr has almost hundreds of nicknames, pet names and diminutives, including - Sasha and Lyosha, of course, but also Shusha, Shuya, Shurik, Sanya, Shura, Leksa, Alek, Alechka, Alchik, Leksya, Sanik, Shanik, Shasha... and many more, for various levels of friendship and familiarity.
My favourite is Shurik. It was made famous as the nickname of the protagonist of a Soviet comedy, and many Aleksandrs of that time wanted to be nicknamed Shurik, or so I'm told. A teacher of mine has a son named Aleksandr they call Shurik, and he's named for this protagonist.
Aleksandr is very, very common in Russia. Moreover, apparently it's bouncing back as an extremely popular name choice for Russian baby boys.
