I think the PM in question was Stolypin, who, if I recall correctly, was assassinated by radicals. Russia could have escaped revolution were it not for the trigger happy radicals.
Stolypin's reforms were, to me, pretty amazing. Western Siberia, the world's largest swamp, as my geography professor called it, was, after the Stolypin land reforms, producing a lot of dairy products--even exporting butter to butter producing countries like Denmark.
