		Witte also indirectly controlled the ministries of agriculture, education, and foreign affairs, making him a powerful statesman indeed.

		Through the good offices of the United States one of Russia's most brilliant statesmen, the former finance minister Sergei Witte, succeeded in negotiating a peace treaty at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that was far less punitive to Russia than might have been expected.
