Pyotr Stolypin (1862-1911) was a Russian politician who served as prime minister to Tsar Nicholas II (reign 1894-1917). Stolypin ruthlessly quashed anti-Tsarist rebellions after the Russian Revolution of 1905 but was also responsible for economic, social, and land reforms during his tenure from 1906 to 1911. The Stolypin reforms helped modernise Russia's backward agriculture and education sectors. The reforms were only partially successful and failed to prevent the Russian Revolution of 1917.
