Career
Stolypin died four days later. This act was committed ostensibly in order to decapitate a successful and popular conservative reform movement and thus hasten violent revolution. However, it has been alleged that Bogrov was permitted to act at the behest of extreme right-wing elements in the Tsarist secret police who detested Stolypin because of his agrarian reforms and his flair for parliamentary government.
(Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn extensively investigates and gives full cr to this conjecture in his historical novel August 1914)
Bogrov was tried by the district military court.
Significantly, the investigation of Stolypin"s assassination was later discontinued at the express order of Nicholas World War II
