rT he years between revolutions of 1905 and 1917 hold a special fascination for Russian historians, but in wake of Soviet and post-Soviet experiment in glasnost and perestroika they have assumed a new importance. Scholars searching for models to reform Soviet state resurrected Peter A. Stolypin, Chairman of Council of Ministers (1906-1911), as thwarted savior of Imperial Russia. Not too long ago an editorial in The Wall Street Journal extolled Stolypin's reform efforts as a paradigm for Mikhail Gorbachev, causing at least one reader to infer that the economic reforms of Stolypin transformed late czarist Russia into an economic superpower. Some Western observers have even cast Stolypin's plans as a blueprint for democratic reform in new era.1 Such popularized distortions underline need for a reevaluation of Stolypin's legacy: Stolypin's reform package included not only land reform but also political restructuring, particularly of local government.2
