Would the Romanovs have survived if Stolypin had lived?
Stolpin Dominated Russian government from July 1906, when he became PM, until his assignation in September 1911
Yes
Viewed as Nicholas II’s last hope for avoiding revolution and providing stability
wanted to move from revolution and disorder to restore order
Russia improved in many areas - national debt was reduced, annual growth rate increased, doubled exports, amounts in saving accounts doubled
Russia became one of Europe’s fastest growing economies, expanding at 4% annually.
Proposed a series of reforms to extent civil rights, reform local government and local justice and improve education - had a vision for transformation of Russia
Believed that reform was essential to solve Russia’s problems eg. famine, and gave his attention to developing agriculture
Saw the Duma as a partner in building a strong Russia - did not see this as limiting the monarch’s authority
Wanted to introduce zemstva in western provinces to make local more democratic and increase participation of rUSSIAN citizens in political life
Stolypin’s reforms had transformed Russia into a stable and prosperous country, transforming the countryside and reducing the impact of the revolutionary parties in domestic politics.
If growth rate had continued at the same pace, had it not been for war and revolution, Russia was on its way to developing into a successful modern industrial state
Russia made enormous and necessary economic progress between 1906 and 1913. The key achievements of this period included: a reduction in national debt; an average annual growth rate of over 6 per cent, the highest in Europe, amounts in savings accounts doubled; exports doubled; and government expenditure and income both doubled.
Because of Stolypin's reforms, the amount of land help by peasants increased, and by 1916 less than 10% of was owned by landowners
Marked increase in agricultural production from 1909-1913
No
Introduced reforms that protect the tsar and autocracy and Reformed through repression
Set up field court martials in 1906 to crust peasant uprisings
Despite economic advancements, Russia was still behind powerful industrial nations eg. France, Germany, Britain
March 1911: persuaded the Tsar to suspend both chambers of Duma to allow him to force his measures by degree - enraged the Duma
Showed the problems of trying to modernise Russia within the framework of autocracy
Futile to try to reform a archaic regime that was bound to fail
Agricultural production grew but despite innovations, farming methods remained outdated, using the strip system, organised by rural communes
Discontented class of landless peasants was growing, many mowing to the cities - many remained impoverished
Despite the oppression of revolutionaries by Prime Minister Stolypin, political protests had significantly re-emerged due after 1912.
