1907 Stolypin's speech in the Duma
110 years ago, on May 10, 1907, Russian Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin, defending his agrarian reform in the Duma, declared: work. It is impossible to resolve this issue, it must be resolved. In the Western states, it took decades. We offer you a modest but sure path. Opponents of statehood would like to choose the path of radicalism, the path of liberation from the historical past of Russia, liberation from cultural traditions. They need great upheavals, we need Great Russia!
