Столыпин был ведующим царским сановником во время нового конституционного порядка, который возник, как один из результатов революции 1905 года. Он стремился положить конец беспорядкам в стране и провести ряд реформ. В апреле 1906 г. его назначили министром внутренних дел и 9-го июля – в день роспуска Первой Думы-- он стал председателем Совета министров. Он служил в этой должнисти до своей смерти (от руки террориста) 5-го сентября 1911 г. 22-го мая 1907 Столыпин распустил Вторую Думу, что было воспринято, как парламентский "переворот" и обычно расценивается как конец революционных событий 1905-1907 годов. 1902 appointed governor of Grodno province; 1903 appointed governor of Saratov province; May 1906 appointed Minister of the Interior. Stolypin was the leading tsarist official under the new constitutional order established by the revolution of 1905, under which he struggled to institute a series of reforms; July 8 1906 appointed president of the Council of Ministers, on the same day that the First Duma was dissolved; July 21, 1906 appointed Prime Minister, a position he held until his death in 1911. He dismissed the first Duma due to its refusal to compromise on agrarian reform. Stolypin subsequently instituted his own reform program, which was based on creating private farms for the peasantry; May 22, 1907 Stolypin dismissed the second Duma, which was considered a parliamentary “coup” against the body and usually considered the end to the revolutionary period; June 16, 1907 upon dissolution of the Duma, Stolypin issued a law restricting the franchise of peasant, worker, and minority electorates; June 1910 and 1911 Stolypin expanded and confirmed his 1906 agrarian reform program with the help of the Octobrists. This included Russification policies in Finland; March 1911 Stolypin had the Duma and State Council suspended to enact legislation extending the zemstvo system into Polish regions; September 14, 1911 Stolypin was assassinated by revolutionary Dmitrii Bogrov at an opera performance in Kiev Petr Arkadevich Stolypin, 1862-1911.
