To many of his contemporaries and to Soviet historians, Peter A. Stolypin, the prime minister of Russia from July 1906 until his assassination in September 1911, was a much reviled figure.
Stolypin clearly underestimated the power of the traditional social elite and the church, which felt threatened by his proposed reforms.
Of great import, "the problem that Stolypin faced in trying to mobilize backing for his government and its policies was there was no natural source of support in Russia for the reforms he was proposing" (175).

 | Book Review | Law and History Review, 22.2 | The History Cooperative
Stolypin was a committed monarchist, who could not accept the notion of the newly founded parliament (the Duma) exercising meaningful control over cabinet appointments or foreign policy.
After all, Stolypin vanquished the revolution of 1905–6; he created a viable legislature by shrinking the suffrage base; and he set the ball rolling toward a society grounded on property ownership in place of estate privilege.
We see that Stolypin's career was not in jeopardy when he was killed, that Stolypin stood up to Nicholas II on important questions, and that he overrode the Empress and exiled the pernicious Rasputin from St. Petersburg.

 From Stone to Steel
Stolypin looked like a real Russian nobleman ("Sire Pierre" was the lifelong nickname he got for his looks) – a tall and well-groomed handsome man. Except for a physical handicap – his right arm had been maimed in his younger years, so he could only write if he assisted himself with his left hand.
Stolypin entertained plans that were outrageously bold for the early 1910s (and accepted prosaically by our generation), such as a ministry of public health, or social security, or ethnic affairs.
The last words Stolypin addressed to the Duma were, "For people in power, gentlemen, there is no sin greater than shying away from their responsibilities." They seem to be prophetically addressed to some of today's Duma members who indulge in the vilification of all and everything without the slightest intention of fulfilling their own responsibilities.

 Farmer cooperatives versus collective farms. The forgotten reform or Stolypin's Renaissance   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It could be explained that the reform distracted the attention of the peasantry from the social upheaval which was actively developing, and proposed thesolution of agrarian problem by the consolidation psychology of peasant individualism and the institution of private property, which were both incompatible with the Marxism theory.
However, Stolypin's name again became popular only at the end of 1980s because the market economy transformation in the Soviet agriculture sounded very similar to the Stolypin's ideas: to support peasants in their intention to leave collective dependence, to create economically strong private family farms and to reinforce the market orientation of agriculture.

 FIRST THINGS: A Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life
What Solzhenitsyn claims in the Stolypin chapters is that a moderate alternative to Tsarist autocracy existed in Russia in the early twentieth century-namely, a peaceful evolution toward a European-style constitutional monarchy under the enlightened statesmanship of Prime Minister Stolypin.
The main features of Stolypin’s plan were the preservation of the Romanov dynasty and Orthodox Church, combined with economic and political reforms-reforms that would have given land to peasants and established local self-governing councils.
Tragically, Stolypin was assassinated by terrorists who feared the success of his plan (which Solzhenitsyn estimates could have created an independent peasantry in twenty years and prevented Communist revolution).
