Topic: Vyacheslav Plehve


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Vyacheslav von Plehve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich von Plehve (Вячесла́в Константи́нович фон Пле́ве), also Pléhve, or Pleve (OS) April 8, (NS) April 20, 1846 Meshchovsk, Kaluga Guberniya – (OS) July 15, (NS) 28 July 1904 St Petersburg) was the director of the tsarist Russian Police and later Minister of the Interior.
Plehve was traditionally believed to be the architect of the Russo Japanese War.
Plehve was reputed to have said: "We need a small, victorious war to avert a revolution." However, recent research has shown that this verdict rests upon misinformation deliberately spread by Sergei Witte, Plehve's enemy.

 Russian Revolution of 1905 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialist-Revolutionary Party (SRs) was founded in Kharkov in 1900, and its 'Combat Organisation' (Boevaia Organizatsiia) assassinated many prominent political figures up to 1905 and beyond; this included two Ministers of the Interior, Dmitry Sergeyevich Sipyagin in 1902 and his successor, the hated Vyacheslav von Plehve, in 1904.
Assassinations were carried out by armed groups of RSDLP, Socialist-Revolutionary Party, anarchists and by lone-wolf terrorists.
The Tsar had hoped to resist any major change, and dismissed Sviatopolk-Mirskii on January 18 O.S. Following the assassination of his relative, Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich on February 4 O.S. he agreed to certain concessions.

However, rather than deal with Bobrikov, Hjelt interacted more with Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Plehve (1846-1904), the Secretary of State for Finland and Chancellor of the university, who had written the manifesto of February 15, 1899 that began the "russification" of Finland.
Although Plehve and Bobrikov were supposed to collaborate, they were actually antagonistic toward each other, and Hjelt was able to play one off against the other.
He convinced Plehve that because the university was Plehve's domain, it should be kept free of Bobrikov's influence or else Hjelt could not prevent student disturbances and demonstrations.
