Petr Stolypin served as the Prime Minister of Russia from 1906 until his assassination in 1911. He implemented important agricultural reforms to improve the lives of peasants by giving them land, rights, and access to education. This was meant to balance social reforms with suppression of radicals. However, the reforms threatened Germany's dominance in Europe and were opposed by Lenin and the socialists who saw Stolypin as obstructing revolution. Overall, Stolypin was successful in helping peasants gain land and rights through his agricultural reforms despite facing disagreement from the Duma and growing unpopularity abroad.
