Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin (Russian: Пётр Арка́дьевич Столы́пин) (April 14 (April 2 Old Style) 1862 - September 14 (September 1 Old Style) 1911) served as Nicholas II's Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) from 1906 to 1911. He became known for his heavy-handed attempts to battle revolutionary groups and for instituting the agrarian reform.\n\nStolypin was a high-born member of the Russian aristocracy, related on his father's side to the poet Mikhail Lermontov. He had a good education and served in the government bureaucracy. His successes led to him first being appointed interior minister under Ivan Goremykin. A few months later, Nicholas appointed Stolypin to replace Goremykin as Prime Minister.\n\nRussia in 1906 was plagued by revolutionary unrest and wide discontent amongst the population. Leftist organisations were waging campaigns against the autocracy, and had wide support; throughout Russia, police officials and bureaucrats were being assassinated. To respond to these attacks Stolypin introduced a system of military tribunals that held quick trials of any accused rebels. If the accused was sentenced to death, as often happened, the sentence would be carried out within a day. Thousands of Russian radicals were killed under Stolypin's system. The gallows hence acquired the nickname Stolypin's necktie.\n\nHe dissolved the First Duma on July 22 (July 9, Old Style) 1906, after the discontent of some of its more radical members to co-operate with the government and calls for land reform. To help quell dissent Stolypin also hoped to remove some of the causes of grievance amongst the peasantry. Thus, he introduced important land reforms. Stolypin also tried to improve the lives of the urban workers and worked to increase the power of local governments.\n\nOpinions about Stolypin's work are very divided. In the unruly atmosphere after the Revolution of 1905 he had to suppress violent revolt and anarchy. His agrarian reform held out much promise, however. Stolypin's phrase that it was a "wager on the strong" has often been maliciously misrepresented. Stolypin and his collaborators (among whom in the first place his Minister of Agriculture Alexander Krivoshein and the Danish-born agronomist Andrei Andreievich Køfød should be mentioned) tried to give as many peasants as possible a chance to raise themselves out of poverty, by promoting consolidation of scattered plots, introducing banking facilities for peasants, stimulating emigration from the overcrowded western areas to virgin lands in Kazakhstan and Southern Siberia.\n\nIn June of 1907, Stolypin altered the voting system of the Duma, which resulted in his election as Prime Minister. The aim of Stolypin was to create a moderately wealthy class of peasants (the Kulak), who would be supporters of societal order. (See article "Stolypin's Reform").\n\nAt some point in the spring of 1911, Stolypin proposed a bill whose failure to pass led to his resignation. He proposed spreading the system of zemstva to the southwestern provinces of Russia. It was originally slated to pass with a narrow majority, but Stolypin's partisan foes had it defeated. In his anger, he resigned as Prime Minister of the Third Duma.\n\nLenin was afraid Stolypin might succeed in helping Russia avoid a violent revolution. Many German political leaders feared that a successful economic transformation of Russia would undermine Germany's dominating position in Europe within a generation. Some historians believe that German leaders in 1914 chose to provoke a war with Tsarist Russia, in order to defeat it before it would grow too strong. On the other hand, the Tsar did not give Stolypin unreserved backing. In fact, it was believed that his position at Court was already seriously undermined by the time he fell victim to an assassination attempt in 1911.\n\nStolypin's reforms did not survive the turmoil of the World Wa

Write a note! you must be joking??\nThe Russian revolution brought about a massive change in the way the country was run politically, the Royals were 'Done way with' (quite rightly)!and the people took over, this caused a lot of dissent between various groups of 'People Leaders' these little problems were  'democratically' resolved by the leaders bumping each other off, they then had a USSR! A United  Soviet Socialist Republic! Not Communist, socialist!\nMany Socialist believe Communism will really arrive when all Socialist countries unite under one banner and all adhere to the same form of Socialism, it's not all over yet by a long chalk!\nThat's your note! \nIf you would like to offer me a commission to write a book on the subject I'm open to offers(business is a bit slack at the moment!

A very calm experienced manager,America needs a man like that in Kremlin to have good stable relations.Boris[Vodka Monster] Yeltsin would have made the things far worst if he was still in office.He sold the Russia to the Oligarch Mob which Putin recovered back very calmly.

I would say Lennin. \n\nUnder his leadership the Russian Revolution too place and started the great communist experiment. He did not rule like Stalin, but he did know what he wanted for his beloved Russia.

Julius Rosenberg (May 12, 1918 – June 19, 1953) and Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (September 28, 1915 – June 19, 1953) were American citizens and Communist Party members who were thrust into the world spotlight when they were tried, convicted, and executed for spying for the Soviet Union. Specifically, the couple was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage and were accused of passing nuclear weapons secrets to Russian agents.\n\nThe accuracy of these charges remains controversial. Decades later, however, Soviet communications decrypted by the VENONA project became publicly available which indicated that Julius Rosenberg was actively involved in espionage. They provided no specific evidence that he performed the specific acts of espionage for which he was convicted, or that Ethel Rosenberg was involved.

What, you don't trust them? I'm surprised anybody would bother signing any agreements with them. Kinda like Hitler promising he wouldn't go beyond Checkoslovakia(sp). Yeah, right.

The closest I came to any kind of a real answer was that there was a surveyor by that name who lived in Czarist Russia in 1830 and planned a series of canals to make a river run backward.\n\nhere's the site:  \n\nhttp://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,950711,00.html
