Prime Minister Stolypin Dies After An Assassination!
Russian Prime Minister Pjotr Arkadjewitsch Stolypin dies on September 18, 1911 ...
... from the serious gunshot wounds he suffered four days earlier in an assassination attempt at the Kiev Opera ...:
Stolypin, born on April 14, 1862 in Dresden, took over the office of Prime Minister in 1906 in the midst of the turmoil after the failed revolution of 1905 ...:
Against the revolutionaries (and everyone who smelled of them), he acted ruthlessly!
There were so many executions - more than 4,000 ...
... that the hangman's rope was popularly known as "Stolypin's tie" ...
At the same time he tried hard to counteract the revolution through political reforms:
He realized that the state had to take care of the peasantry, most of the Russian population, some of whom lived as they did a hundred years ago!
Although the peasant liberation in the Tsarist empire was enforced by Alexander II in 1861, it had brought few tangible benefits to the population. Although the farmers were no longer chained to landowners, the farmers in the still existing system of village communities were individually just as unfree.
The community system distributed the land among the farmers, did not allow private ownership of land and restricted the mobility of the farmers as each resident was tied to his community.
As early as 1906, Stolypin enforced the right to private land ownership for smallholders by ukase. His subsequent steps grew into a profound agrarian reform. In order to provide the peasantry with sufficient capital and expertise, he created a training program and special low-interest loans to farmers.
Stolypin had other plans to transform the autocracy into an efficient system of government.
Likewise, before the end of his political career, he had prepared a law for the emancipation of the Jews in the tsarist empire in order to win this minority over to the tsarist state.
And despite his nationalist and monarchist convictions, he spoke out in favor of an independent Polish state, which should receive more and more sovereignty from the Russian Empire through a gradual process.
At the same time, however, he fought the independence movements in both countries.
Stolypin almost got caught between all stools with his political actions - and his politics were probably the only way to prevent the revolution!
He was hated by the revolutionaries who were still highly active in the underground, the rich landowners worked and rifled against him because of his agrarian reforms and influential political circles at the tsarist's court - as well as the tsarina herself ...
... sharply rejected him because, in their opinion, he embraced the “sacred principle of autocracy “(As she once wrote) undermine.
And also the tsar (the next photo shows the two together)
... the very independent working and self-confident man slowly but surely became a thorn in the side!
Stolypin probably suspected that he would come to a violent end, because years before his death he determined:
"Bury me where I am murdered."
He initially survived several assassinations:
On August 12, 1906, a bomb laid by revolutionaries destroyed his house and injured him and his son slightly and his daughter Natascha seriously; the girl (on the photo in the foreground on the right) ...
... both legs were crushed by the collapse of the building.
A little later, another revolutionary hurled a bomb into his carriage, which was totally destroyed in the process - Stolypin survived.
On September 14, 1911, at a solemn opera premiere in Kiev, he was killed by the assassin Dmitry Bogrov (here his police files) ...
... seriously injured by two pistol shots ...:
Stolypin still manages to get up (he was sitting in the stalls), turn around to the tsar's box (the tsar was also present) and do the cross sign...:
Then he collapses.
Four days later, exactly 110 years ago today, Stolypin is dead ...:
Whose order his murderer Bogrow was acting on was never fully clarified.
However, it is absolutely certain that the man was on the payroll of the tsarist secret police "Ochrana".
The following is also proven:
Bogrow had his ticket ...
... by a senior police officer, Lieutenant Colonel N. N. Kuljabko ...
...obtain. This was the only way he had managed to get into the opera, which was heavily guarded like a fortress that evening!
On that day, normal mortals were not allowed in at all, the audience was handpicked because of the presence of the Tsar!
It is not unthinkable that those who commissioned the murder are more likely to be found in circles of people with good connections to the security organs (i.e. the court camarilla and / or the landowners) if the revolutionaries immediately claimed the attack for themselves!
The assassin was executed on September 25, 1911.
Almost suspiciously fast ...
Stoplypin was buried where he was murdered - following his wish: At Kiev, close to the opera house ....:
There - near the opera house - a memorial was erected to him, which of course fell victim to the revolution ...:
After the end of the Soviet Union, Russia offered the now independent Ukraine a new Stolypin monument at the same at Kiev (which the Ukrainians have since renamed Kiyv) as a gift.
The Ukrainian parliament outraged this offer on January 13, 2012 as a “provocation” or “extremely thoughtless maneuver” - Stolypin had also fought independence movements during his tenure, including those in Poland and Ukraine.
The only Stolypin memorial has stood in Saratov on the Volga since April 14, 2002, erected on the 140th anniversary of his birth ...:
By the way:
In a Russian online survey in December 2008, Pyotr Stolypin was voted "the second greatest Russian of all time".
The Rurikid prince, Aleksandr Newskij, landed in first place. Third place went to Jossif Stalin, who, if you take it seriously, wasn't Russian at all, but Georgian ...
