Pyotr Arkadievich Stolypin, who came from an old noble family, was a large landowner and one of the prime ministers of Russia. His bills went down in history as the "Stolypin agrarian reform". During his lifetime, he was criticized for the cruelty of the measures taken. The expression "Stolypin's tie" is directly related to this.
What is "Stolypin tie"
Stolypin was famous for his controversial reforms in many areas. Primarily in agriculture. His personality during his lifetime caused a lot of controversy. At the beginning of the 20th century, revolutionaries repeatedly attempted the life of Prime Minister Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin. They shot at him, threw bombs. In the summer of 1906, Stolypin's daughter was seriously wounded on the Aptekarsky Island of St. Petersburg. In 1911, the anarchist Dmitry Bogrov, entering the building of the Kiev Drama Theater, fired a fatal shot.
The winged expression "Stolypin's tie" appeared in 1907. At the session of the State Duma of the third convocation, the representative of the Cadet Party Fyodor Rodichev paraphrased the then well-known expression of V. Purishkevich about "Muravyov's collar". Vladimir Purishkevich was famous as a talented orator. After General M. N. Muravyov was liquidated by the Polish uprising of 1863, the rope for the gallows began to be called "Muravyov's collar". During the meeting, Purishkevich asked Stolypin a question: "And where are the killers, are they all turned up and got a Muravyov tie?" After that, Fyodor Rodichev said from the rostrum that the descendants would have to call the "Muravyov collar" "Stolypin's tie."
How did this winged expression appear?
The reason for the speech of the Cadet was the report of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Russia A. P. Stolypin in the Duma. Then he promised to fight the revolutionaries and warmly supported the idea of military courts. The idea of "quick courts" was proposed by him after a large-scale terrorist attack in which about 100 people were injured, including Stolypin's children. Such courts tried cases of civilians accused of participation in mutiny and other crimes against the state system. Cases were considered in a simplified manner, that is, without the participation of a prosecutor and a lawyer. Usually the sentence was carried out within 24 hours. Petitions for clemency and even appeals against sentences were not allowed.
The State Duma hall reacted violently. The indignant deputies tried to pull Rodichev off the rostrum, crowding around her. Following Stolypin, the ministers and the chairman of the III State Duma N. A. Khomyakov. After the meeting was disrupted, Stolypin handed Rodichev a challenge to a duel. But the incident was settled after a representative of the Cadet Party apologized to the Prime Minister.
Fyodor Rodichev's statement was interpreted as "non-parliamentary expression." In this regard, the Cadet Rodichev was deprived of the right to attend 15 sessions of the Duma.
