I Believe in Russia!

Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin (1862–1911) — the last great reformer of imperial Russia. Thanks to his tireless efforts, firmness, and incorruptibility, by 1913 our country entered the top three leading industrial powers in the world. Stolypin presented an extraordinarily worthy example of service to the Fatherland and its people. He was forced to engage in everything: carrying out grand reforms to modernize the economy of the vast empire while simultaneously fighting various extremists, terrorists, and revolutionaries. This anniversary gift edition is timed to the 160th anniversary of this great man. The book presents a full range of documentary materials about Stolypin's life and activities: his speeches, articles, addresses, legislative proposals, as well as his correspondence with prominent statesmen and their memoirs. The edition is richly illustrated and accompanied by biographical essays and commentaries.
