We prove that the Euler characteristic of a collapsing Alexandrov space (in particular, a Riemannian manifold) is equal to the sum of the products of the Euler characteristics with compact support of the strata of the limit space and the Euler characteristics of the fibers over the strata. This was conjectured by Semyon Alesker.
