Volodin announced the key role of Stolypin in the formation of Russian parliamentarism

Chairman of the State Duma Volodin said that the role of Pyotr Stolypin in the formation of Russian parliamentarism is enormous.

The reforms initiated by Stolypin were aimed at strengthening Russia and contributed to the fact that by 1914 the Russian Empire became one of the world leaders in terms of economic growth.

Volodin noted that if Stolypin’s life had not been cut short so early, perhaps the revolutions of 1917 and the Civil War would not have happened.

MOSCOW, September 5 - RIA Novosti. The role of Pyotr Stolypin in the development of Russian parliamentarism is enormous, said State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.

“Stolypin’s role in the development of Russian parliamentarism is enormous. In the year of the 120th anniversary of the State Duma, it is especially important to realize this. Remember how much Pyotr Arkadyevich did to make the State Duma more responsible for the fate of the country and constructive,” Volodin wrote in a channel on the Max platform.

The Chairman of the State Duma added that Stolypin was a personality of enormous magnitude and, having lived a short life, did a lot for Russia.

“The reforms initiated by Stolypin were aimed at strengthening our country. And as a result, by 1914, the beginning of the First World War, the Russian Empire was one of the world leaders in terms of economic growth,” Volodin emphasized.

The Chairman of the State Duma noted that if Stolypin’s life had not been cut short so early, perhaps the revolutions of 1917 and the Civil War would not have happened, and 20 years of peace could have become a time of development and prosperity for the country.

“Stolypin did a lot so that our country would not be plunged into revolutionary chaos 10 years earlier. He convinced those who were guided solely by personal political ambitions, and not by the interests of the state and people, of the need to implement the planned transformations,” Volodin added.

He stressed that it is important to remember the lessons of history and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
