M

uch has been written about the assassination of Pyotr Stolypin, who headed 

the Russian government at the time of his death on September 1911.  Now 

original source documents from the State Archive of the Kiev Oblast are 

available in this one of a kind collection.  

 

A

s head of the Russian government amid massive protests of workers and 

peasants against the autocracy, Stolypin was firm in suppressing the protests, 

but he also started programs to reform, first and foremost, Russia’s extensive 

farming community, the government infrastructure, and economy. The reform 

he launched in the countryside was aimed at increasing the population of 

prosperous farmers, the mainstay of the existing system. Addressing members 

of the State Duma, he once said:  “You are after great upheavals, we are after a 

great Russia.”  This became his battle cry. 

 

M

ost authors have based their narratives on reminiscences and 

historical press accounts while only a few researchers used 

archive sources. This unique collection of the archive-based 

information presented by East View includes documents little 

known to both the broad public and the scholarly community. 

 

T

he collection contains such materials from the State Archive of 

the Kiev Oblast as the correspondence of the investigator of the 

Kiev circuit court concerning the killer Dmitri Bogrov and other 

revolutionaries implicated in Stolypin’s assassination as well as 

the report to the prosecutor of the Kiev circuit court about the 

murder, the record of Bogrov’s questioning, the report on the site 

and time of Bogrov’s execution. 

 

A

lso found in the collection are protocols from an apartment 

search of a secret police officer who may have helped Bogrov, medical reports on Stolypin’s condition, details on the 

funeral arrangements, examination annotations and autopsy of his body, and much more. 

 

T

he assassination of Stolypin was a very important episode in Russian political developments preceding the turmoil of 

World War I and the revolution, which changed the course of Russian history.  This outstanding collection is a must-

have for those who research this critical historical period.
